Ujjain

Ujjain
   Some 121 kilometers west of Bhopal, the capital of Mad-hya Pradesh, it is an important Hindu pilgrimage center. It was also a major administrative center and entrepot where trade routes con-verged under the Mauryas (322-184 BCE) and Guptas (320-500 CE). At the time of the Ghaurid conquest of north India (1192-1206), Ujjain was a part of the Paramara kingdom of Malwa with its capital at Dhar. It was plundered by Iltutmish in 1235. Ujjain was annexed to the Delhi sultanate in 1305. Subse-quently, Ujjain and Bhilsa together constituted the iqta' of Ain ul-Mulk Multani (1320).
