The ancient temple town of Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, India, is set to receive a major facelift ahead of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela, a religious gathering that takes place every 12 years. The state government has approved a Rs 950 crore project to upgrade infrastructure and improve facilities in the town.
