Colors. Ujjain
On the Ujjain ghats, after the bath in the holy river. ujjain is a very important holy place. Few tourists go there , Ujjain is not on a main touristic itinerary, but it would deserve a visit, despite of the bad hotels qualities. As in every place of that kind, you have to be on the ghat very early in the morning; all along the day, nothing special.
