The
second Shahi Snan (Royal Bath) of month-long Simhastha Kumbh mela began on 9th
May 2016 (Shukla/Akshey Tritya). Traditions vis-à-vis Shahi Snan during
Simhastha at Ujjain are still intact. Observing the same traditions, Shaivite
Akharas had the first opportunity to take the holy dip in Kshipra river. The
holy dip taken by Naga Sadhus chanting Har Har Mahadev brought to light the
unique and unparalleled culture of India. According to myth, holy dip in
Kshipra river is very important during this festival.
On
the occasion of second Shahi Snan at Simhastha Kumbh mela, Ujjain a Special
Cover was released by Shri T. Murty, Member (Operations), Department of Posts,
Shri M. E. Haque, Chief Postmaster General, M. P. Circle and other dignitaries
on ‘Ujjain Darshan’ on 9th May 2016 at Ujjain.
