Panchang and festivals in Ujjain
Ujjain follows the North Indian purnimanta calendar. It has long been a centre of Indian astronomy, and the Tropic of Cancer passes close to the city, which is why many traditional panchangs were calculated for Ujjain.
Well-known temples: Shri Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, Kal Bhairav Temple, Harsiddhi Mata Temple.
The early-morning Bhasma Aarti at Mahakaleshwar is held daily, the Mahakal Sawari procession runs on the Mondays of Shravana, and Ujjain hosts the Simhastha Kumbh Mela on the Shipra about every twelve years.
