Ujjain

The second bathing town of my India trip was incredible. Much smaller than Nasik, which seemed a pretty good sized city, Ujjain had a very remote sort of mystical feel to it. I also saw the very first and only rain of my otherwise dry and sweltering trip to India. I stayed at some hotel by the train station, the Sri Rama or the Ram Krishna or something like that. The only one of the cheapies that had AC. It was a very nice town and I had a blast.

I know it's Hindu, but it has a very Burmese Nat look to it.
