One of the prime tourist attractions of the city of Ujjain, Ram ghat is located on the banks of the Shipra river, where the Shipra aarti is held everyday. In the evening, you can visit the ghat to participate in the aarti pooja. It is a heavenly sight when lamps are lit and prayers are sung by the ghat. This ghat is also famous for its Kumbhmela. During the mela, you can see thousands of devotees taking a holy dip in the river and paying respects to the god.
The Shipra, also known as the Kshipra, is a river in Madhya Pradesh state of central India. The river rises in the North of Dhar district, and flows north across the Malwa Plateau to join the Chambal River at the MP-Rajasthan boundary in Mandsaur district. It is one of the sacred rivers in Hinduism. The holy city of Ujjain is situated on its east bank. Every 12 years, the Sinhastha fair (Kumbh Mela) takes place on the city's elaborate riverside ghats, as do yearly celebrations of the river goddess Kshipra. There are hundreds of Hindu shrines along the banks of the river Shipra.
