Ujjain

Ujjain (hindi: उज्जैन)  pronunciation (također poznat kao Ujain, Ujjayini, Avanti, Avantikapuri), je drevni grad u regiji Malwa u današnjoj centralnoj Indiji. Smješten je na istočnoj obali rijeke Kshipra (Hindi: क्षिप्रा), te administrativno pripada državi Madhya Pradesh. Predstavlja administrativni centar Distrikta Ujjain i Odjela Ujjain.

U drevnoj historiji je bio poznat kao Ujjayini. Prema navodima epa Mahabharata, Ujjayini je bio glavni grad Kraljevstva Avanti, a potom je služio kao početni meridijan za hinduističke geografe od 4. vijeka pne. Ujjain je jedan od sedam svetih gradova (Sapta puri) hindusa, i u njemu se vsakih 12 godina održava vjerski festival po imenu Kumbh Mela. U njemu je smješten i Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, jedno od dvanaest Jyotirling svetišta boga Šive; po legendi je mjesto gdje se Gospodar Krišna zajedno s Balaramom i Sudamom bio podučavan od Maharshi Sandipanija.
