Day by Day itinerary
Day 1: Indore Arrival – Ujjain (56 km.)
Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga with Mahakaleshwar Darshan tour begins as you arrive at Indore by air/rail/road. Meet our representative at the designated point and begin the journey by road to the city of Ujjain. This is one of the seven holiest Hindu cities (collectively called Saptapuri), Ujjain is located on the bank of the holy River Kshipra and hosts the world-famous Kumbh Mela once every twelve years. A number of ancient monuments and temples in the city make it a first-rate tourist destination.
On arrival, check in at the booked hotel and relax. Later, visit Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga {opens 04:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., for darshan and get bowled-over by the wondrous architecture featuring a finely sculpted shikhara (spire). The popular legend states that Lord Shiva appeared here as Mahakala to save his devotees from a fierce demon named Dooshan and granted the boon to stay here forever to bless his followers. You would be enchanted to find that it is the only Jyotirlingam where the idol is dakshinamurti (south-facing). Also, it is a Shakti-Peeth (dedicated to Goddess Shakti) where the upper lip of the goddess (who is known as Mahakali here) fell.
Depending on time available, visit other important temples of the city, including Kal Bhairav Temple and Chintaman Ganesh Temple or the monuments like Kaliadeh Palace and Ved Shala. Stay overnight at Ujjain.
Day 2: Ujjain – Omkareshwar (137 km.) – Indore (79 km.)
Attend the early morning aarti (prayers) at Mahakaleshwar Temple before leaving. If you book the Bhasm Aarti in advance, be present at the temple according to the schedule. Have breakfast before we leave for Shri Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga which is located on the island named Mandhata (also called Shivapuri). Check in at the booked hotel on arrival and later visit the temple (opens 05:00 a.m. to 09:35 p.m.). Omkareshwar is the place where Mount Vindhya was blessed by Lord Shiva with the boon to be the greatest mountain in the region. It is believed that Shiva divided the Lingam into two parts – one present at Omkareshwar and the other one at Mamleshwar just on the opposite bank of River Narmada.
After praying at the temple, begin your journey back to Indore. Check in at the hotel on arrival and stay overnight.
