A Guide to Uddiyana (Ujjain), Benglor
By Kyapje Chatral Rinpoche
In this brief guide to Ujjain, most likely part of a personal pilgrimage diary, Kyapjé Chatral Rinpoche repeatedly refers to the city as Uddiyana. Ujjain is home to the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, one of the most famous temples dedicated to Lord Shiva, attracting thousands of devotees every day. Rinpoche concludes with a guide to Khoteshwar, identified here as the Sindhu Isle, birthplace of Guru Padmasambhava.
