Simhastha 2028 preparations in Ujjain

Overview

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has initiated infrastructure and organizational preparations for the Simhastha 2028 religious festival in Ujjain, which is expected to host between 300 million and 400 million pilgrims.

Initial efforts focused on physical infrastructure, including the inspection of road widening projects along Rajsi Sawari Marg and the development of a new Collector’s Office. The Chief Minister noted that local residents and traders have cooperated by voluntarily removing encroachments to facilitate these works.

As preparations progress, the focus has expanded to include a call for collective participation from the government, administration, religious organizations, and social groups. To support the festival's scale, the government has pledged to assist farmers who develop facilities such as schools, hospitals, and hostels on their land. These efforts are being coordinated under the Simhastha Mela Authority to improve facilities for the anticipated influx of devotees and saints.
