Brahmagupta, Vikramaditya, Varahamihira etc, are also associated with the city.
People & Culture of Ujjain

Ujjain is a religious town and its culture reflects the same. The biggest festival the city hosts is
the Maha Kumbh Mela, held every 12 years, and the next one will take place in 2016. According
to mythology, the event is organised when demigods, as advised by Lord Bhrama and Shiva,
pray to Lord Vishnu to counter strong and powerful demons. Although the city is steeped in
history, locals have embraced modern lifestyle with great ease. The glittering malls and
restaurants visible across the city show that Ujjain is an interesting blend of old-world charm

observatory was built by Raja Jai Singh, who was a great scholar. Of many observatories
constructed by him throughout India, Ujjain is actively used for astronomical studies. There are
