Reported date: 2028-04-09 (PROVISIONAL)
Location: Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India
Time zone: Asia/Kolkata. A ritual time is not established.

The first principal ceremonial bathing date in the reported 2028 calendar.

## Understand this occasion

Shahi Snan is associated with ceremonial bathing and the participation of religious orders. The first date in a published sequence does not establish the procession route, the order of participation, or the time when other pilgrims may enter a bathing area.

This calendar is an aid to discussing plans, not a government programme, a promise of public access or a booking confirmation. Recheck official notices before non-refundable arrangements.

## Plan your visit around it

Plan your arrival independently of the proposed ritual date. Avoid making a train arrival, check-in and bathing visit depend on one tightly timed morning. Ask where your group should go under the public access plan, rather than assuming it can follow a ceremonial procession.

## What still needs checking

Verify the final date, any designated public bathing windows, ghat access and procession restrictions. Use the original administrative notice rather than a package itinerary.

## Leave room for a different pace

If your group’s needs make a ceremonial bathing day unsuitable, consider a permitted riverfront visit on a different day. No alternative date should be assumed uncrowded.
