Families who stayed near Mahakal with us

Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the owner (Rohan). Since our train was delayed, he even permitted my family to overstay in his property. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely want to come back.

Great host, great location, place is as described. Rohan helped a lot and followed up everything himself. Arranged an auto and recommended local restaurants. When a friend fell sick, he arranged medicine.

Ancient Ujjain

Stay in a city older than its own name

अवन्तिका · उज्जयिनी · कनकशृंगा · पद्मावती · कुशस्थली

Avantika is one of the seven Moksha-puris of Hinduism, the capital of King Vikramaditya and the city Kalidasa wrote of in Meghaduta. Most of it is within a short auto ride of the house.

महाकालेश्वर

Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga

One of the twelve Jyotirlingas and the only one facing south (Dakshinamukhi). The pre-dawn Bhasma Aarti needs advance booking.

रामघाट

Ram Ghat on the Kshipra

The main bathing ghat for Simhasth and the place for the evening Kshipra aarti.

काल भैरव

Kal Bhairav Temple

Guardian of Ujjain, known for the unusual offering of liquor to the deity.

हरसिद्धि

Harsiddhi Mata

A Shakti Peetha near Mahakal, with tall deepa-stambhas lit with hundreds of lamps at festivals.

सांदीपनि आश्रम

Sandipani Ashram

Where Shri Krishna, Balaram and Sudama studied under Guru Sandipani.

वेधशाला

Vedh Shala Observatory

The Jantar Mantar built by Sawai Jai Singh II, still used to compute the Hindu panchang.

23.18° N · 75.78° E

Ancient Indian astronomers placed the prime meridian through Ujjain, and the Tropic of Cancer runs close by. For centuries, Indian time was counted from the city you are sleeping in.

Simhasth Kumbh 2028

The Kumbh returns to the Kshipra

Simhasth comes once in twelve years, when Jupiter enters Simha (Leo). Crores of pilgrims, the akharas and the Shahi Snan processions come to Ujjain. Rooms near Mahakal fill months ahead.

Dates follow the published planning calendar. Final government notification is still awaited, so confirm before you book travel.

Book a whole home

During snan days, roads near the ghats close to vehicles. A family apartment with a kitchen means you are not hunting for food in the crowd.

Arrive a day early

Reach Ujjain the day before a Shahi Snan. We share the latest route and parking advisories with every guest.

Travel light, walk more

The station is 1.3 km away and Mahakal just 1 km. Comfortable shoes do more than a car on peak days.

Hosting

We help with more than the room

Airport transfers

Pick-up and drop from Indore airport, 56 km away, on request.

Pooja arrangements

Help arranging a pandit for Rudrabhishek, Kaal Sarp or Mangal dosh pooja.

Questions

Before you book

How far is Trilok Home Stay from Mahakaleshwar Temple?

About 1 km, a 3-minute auto-rickshaw ride or a 12-minute walk. Ujjain Junction railway station is 1.3 km away.

Is this a good homestay for families near Mahakal?

Yes. Each apartment has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room and a kitchenette, and sleeps up to five. The ground-floor unit suits elderly guests.

Can you help with Bhasma Aarti booking?

Bhasma Aarti passes are issued by the temple committee. We will guide you through the official booking process and the dress code, and make sure you reach the temple on time.

When should I book for Simhasth 2028?

As early as you can. Simhasth is expected to run from 27 March to 27 May 2028, and homes near Mahakal and Ram Ghat sell out first around the Shahi Snan dates.

Is parking available?

Yes, free parking on the premises, and the whole property is under CCTV.
