Point of Arrival
Shri Chintaman Ganesh Temple is one of the most revered Ganesha temples in Ujjain. Dating to ancient times (some sources suggest origin back to 11th–12th century AD, during Paramāra rule) the temple stands close to the banks of the River Kshipra River and serves as a spiritual haven for devotees seeking relief from worldly worries (“chinta-haran”). Inside the sanctum, three forms of Ganesha — Chintaman, Icchhaman, and Siddhivinayak — are worshipped together, making the temple unique. Over the centuries, it has remained a centre of faith, devotion, and hope — especially for people beginning new ventures, exams, or facing difficulties.
