We are going to Ujjain.
The word Ujjain brings to mind Mahakavi Kalidas.
In pure lyrical quality, he is way ahead of all the poets of the world. Shakespeare is a better dramatist, a philosopher and an observer of character. But when it comes to poetic charm, I vote for Kalidas. Upama Kalidasassia. His simile is superb. Shakuntalam, a love story, has been translated into several Indian languages.
According to legend, he was an idiot, but was blessed by Kali and became Kalidas. The Kali temple, where the poet received the blessings of the Goddess, is still there. He was one of the nine Jewels who were guests of the King Vikramaditya.
Ujjain is famous for Shiva as Mahakal and is one of the places where Kumbhamela is held.
It is well connected by rail and road.
