The last Shravana yatra of the year will arrive at Ramghat in Ujjain on August 24, where Baba Mahakal will be worshipped in four distinct forms and a water ablution ceremony will be performed.
Ujjain will host the concluding ride of the Shravana month on August 24, marking the fourth and final procession of the sacred calendar. The ceremonial vehicle is scheduled to arrive at the historic Ramghat, a key pilgrimage spot on the banks of the Shipra River.
At the arrival point, devotees will witness the deity Baba Mahakal manifested in four divine aspects: Chandramauleshwar, Manmahes, Shivtandav and Uma-Mahesh. Each form symbolizes a different facet of the deity's cosmic role and will be displayed for worshippers.
The event will culminate with a traditional Shipra water ablution (jalabhishek) followed by aarti, allowing pilgrims to partake in the ritual purification. Local authorities have arranged crowd management and basic amenities, while the temple committee has coordinated the timing of the rites. The procession is expected to draw large numbers of faithful from across Madhya Pradesh and neighboring states.
