Kshipra River

The Kshipra River is a sacred waterway flowing through Ujjain in India, considered highly holy in Hindu tradition. It originates from the Malwa plateau and joins the Shipra in the city, flowing westward before merging into the Chambal River. The river holds cultural and religious significance, especially during the Kumbh Mela, where millions gather to bathe and seek spiritual purification. It plays an essential role in local ecosystems and supports traditions, festivals, and daily life in Ujjain. Efforts are ongoing to maintain its health and cleanliness amidst urban development and environmental challenges.
