4. THE SHAHI SNAN
Shahi snan is not just a dip but an experience through the night. The
devotees will stay awake the whole night in bhakti and preparation as
per their path. The town is hustling bustling through out. In fact there are
processions, traffic jams and crowds!
Whether you are solo or in a group, you can roam around and
experience the night! Be part of the groups chanting and going towards
the ghats. Sit in for classical performances. Or just follow your instincts.
If you associate with an akhada in advance, you could spend the night in
the akhada and participate in their preparations for the dip.

5. Watching the sunrise over Ujjain. Feeling awesome after the Shahi dip!
