According to Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, Ujjain will become a holy city by building permanent ashrams like Haridwar prior to Simhastha, which takes place once every twelve years.
The next Simhastha will be organised in 2028.
A statement from Yadav’s office on Monday said an action plan has been prepared to develop Ujjain as a religious city like Haridwar. “On the lines of Haridwar, sages, saints, mahants, akhara heads, mahamandaleshwar, etc will be allowed to build permanent ashrams in Ujjain before Simhastha…Sadhus and saints require sufficient land/plots to stay in Ujjain to organise Katha, Bhagwat, etc.”
It added the Ujjain Development Authority will plan permanent ashrams. The statement promised infrastructure such as roads and basic facilities electricity, drinking water, drainage, etc ahead of Simhastha to avoid problems temporary construction caused.
Yadav said the state government was working for the holistic development of the state including Ujjain to ensure prosperity for all. “It is our priority to ensure that all our religious gurus should get the place of worship,” Yadav said.
