Dubki

After Nashik kumbh in 2015, next kumbh was immediately in 8 months. So, we had decided as long as possible lets witness the magic of kumbh. As the dates of shaahi dip were nearing we booked the train tickets from Mumbai to Ujjain and the journey to another holy dip started.  Ujjain So, this time apart from kumbh there was another reason I was excited to visit Ujjain. From the day people started asking me meaning of my name, I knew my name was kept based on Avantika Nagari ( Former name of Ujjain city). It was ruled by King Vikram Aditya, who was  a legendary emperor of ancient  India . Often characterized as an ideal king, he is known for his generosity, courage, and patronage of scholars, with his capital at Ujjain. I grew up watching Vikram -Betal stories on TV and thinking to visit Ujjain sometimes in my life. So, coming back to mystery of my name, it was kept based on a new train which was, and it still is running from Mumbai to Ujjain named "Avantika express"
