Ghat · Ujjain
Ram Ghat
Ujjain’s oldest and most important ghat on the Shipra and the main Simhastha bathing site.
Ram Ghat is the focus of the Simhastha: akharas take their Shahi Snan here and millions of pilgrims bathe along the ghats that stretch on either side.
On ordinary evenings the Shipra aarti and the floating diyas make it a peaceful place to sit after Mahakal darshan.
Visiting tips
- Bathe early in the morning in April–May to avoid the heat.
