Having mentioned the Indian paradise, Jammu and Kashmir in the last article, here we are moving on to the next spot of our journey. Popularity often misses reaching some places which have historical as well as monumental significance. The most attractive spots are often talked about, but there are some rare, unspoken places which might just be the break that you might be looking for to get away from the hustle of city life. Well here is one such place, which is believed to be graced by the greatest of all, Lord Shiva. If you couldn't guess the place yet, well I'm talking about Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh).
The city is one of the most sacred spots in India as it is the home to one of the twelve jyotirlingas, Mahakaaleswar. Thousands of tourists gather here to visit the great Mahakaleshwar temple situated in the city of Ujjain. The temple attracts a lot of devotees of Lord Shiva who come up to the spot for a glance of the extensively important shrine in the temple.
Another spot of holy importance is the Omkaareswara temple located at a distance of about 150 kms from Ujjain. Omkareshwar temple is another one of the twelve jyotirlingas which people find of vital importance. Almost every tourist coming to Ujjain visits Omkareshwar as well. The temple dates back to hundreds of years and is an enjoyable road trip through the Vindhyan mountain range.
Adding to the natural landscape of this beautified spot is the river Narmada, which is also termed as the Life Line of Madhya Pradesh as it serves most of the needs of the state. The fourth longest river in India flows through a rift valley between the Vindhyan and the Satpura mountain ranges. At Omkareshwar temple, boat rides across the river is another source of tourist attraction.
The travel experience through the infamous Ujjain has turned out to be a really soothing one. The unexplored peace and serenity have no match for the lot it has to offer to its visitors. Looking for a peaceful break away from the monotonous schedule? Ujjain is the place you got to visit. Take it from me, the distinguished experience will leave an ever-lasting impression on your mind.
