PANCHKROSHI YATRA

Also known as the Pancheshani Yatra, it is a grand tour of Ujjain in which thousands of people join in every year. The Chatdwar Yatra, the ceremonial visits to the four gates, is also associated with this Yatra. The legend goes that when Lord Shiva founded Ujjain at Parvati's behest on the banks of the Shipra, four gates were established to guard the city from all four directions.Four guardian deities, Pingaleshwar (East), Kayavarohaneshwar (South) Dardureshwar (North) and Bilveshwar (West) were appointed with Mahakaleshwar at the center of the town

    Hi..It was nice to know about Panchkroshi Yatra. Ujjain has been mentioned in the Mahabharata and has witnessed the rule of mighty dynasties, including the Mauryan and Gupta dynasties. Check hotels in Ujjain also.
