Route on the map
By road
Expect 810 km on the odometer and close to 12 h 50 min on the road. Leave early on Mondays and the Shravan month: parking fills up fast and police divert traffic away from the temple lanes.
By train
The temple has no station of its own. The nearest railhead is Ujjain Junction, 2.8 km from the temple, with shared jeeps, buses and taxis for the last leg. Check current trains from Lucknow on IRCTC.
By air
The nearest airport is Indore Airport, 59.4 km from the temple. From Lucknow it is usually quicker to fly there and continue by taxi or bus than to drive the whole way.
