MP Tour
Ujjain: Famous Mahakaleshwar temple
5th Dec 2005 - left Mandu's Roopmati Hotel at 7:00am and drove stright to Indore (9:30 am) about 100Kms away, to withdraw cash from an ATM and fill diesel for car.
From Indore went on to Ujjain and visited the famous temple at Noon.
A local priest took me to inside the Sanctum & made a quick tour of the smaller temples around the courtyard

I left Ujjain at 12:30pm not stopping to see the many other temples of Ujjain that were listed in my Guide book. From Ujjain I drove south-west to Dewas and then continued on NH-86 heading for MP capital Bhopal.
However on seeing a nice road-side Motel, while passing Sehore some 40kms before Bhopal around 4:20PM decided to stop and stay the night there. The Hotel Crescent was quite decentone with an attractive garden and a nice DBL room for Rs 400/- a night.
Today I had logged a total of 322 kms from Mandu to Sehore via Ujjain.
Tomorrow plan to go Bhopal and Sanchi and Vidisha.
