Q. Why is the Kshipra River religiously important?
Answer: Because it flows through Ujjain, site of Kumbh Mela
Notes: The Kshipra River flows through Ujjain, an ancient pilgrimage city hosting the Kumbh Mela every 12 years. Ujjain contains the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, one of twelve sacred Shiva shrines. These religious events and landmarks make the river highly sacred in Hinduism.
