Panchkroshi Yatra / Mass Preparation For Prasadam Distribution

Also known as the Pancheshani Yatra, it is a grand tour of Ujjain in which thousands of people join in every year. The Chatdwar Yatra, the ceremonial visits to the four gates, is also associated with this Yatra. The legend goes that when Lord Shiva founded Ujjain at Parvati's behest on the banks of the Shipra, four gates were established to guard the city from all four directions.Four guardian deities,

  1. Pingaleshwar (East), 
  2. Kayavarohaneshwar (South) 
  3. Dardureshwar (North) and 
  4. Bilveshwar (West) were appointed with Mahakaleshwar at the center of the town
