Significance

Panchkroshi Yatra is a walking pilgrimage around the sacred boundary of Ujjain, and it is associated in tradition with the five-kosha circuit around Mahakal's city. It is observed each year in the month of Vaishakha, and pilgrims walk for several days with rest at designated halts, often from villages across Malwa.

Because the schedule and route arrangements are decided locally each year, we have not set automatic dates for this observance. If you plan to join, please check the notices of the local administration and the temple authorities, carry water, and walk at your own pace. Those who cannot travel may offer a Shiv pujan in their name at home.

How it is observed

  • Taking sankalp for the yatra before setting out
  • Walking the traditional circuit, visiting shrines on the way
  • Chanting Shiv naam and bhajan during the walk
  • Resting at the designated halts and sharing simple food
  • Concluding with darshan and thanksgiving in Ujjain
