Agrawal Bhawan Ujjain is a bhawan (pilgrim lodging) in Patni Bazar, about 700 m from Mahakaleshwar Temple according to its YatraDham.org listing. On 4 November 2026 that page showed 2-bed AC rooms from Rs 1,200 plus Rs 60 tax, a 16-bed AC dormitory and a common hall. Rates are from-rates and change with dates.
This guide pulls those details together for pilgrims deciding whether the bhawan fits their trip. It covers the address, distances to Ram Ghat and Harsiddhi Mata Temple, room types, check-in and refund terms, the booking route and who the place suits. We are an independent guide, not the bhawan. We have not stayed there and we have no affiliation with it. Every figure below comes from a single public directory page read on 4 November 2026, so confirm anything important with the property before you pay.

Agrawal Bhawan Ujjain at a glance
Agrawal Bhawan is listed at Patni Bazar, Modi Ki Gali, Ujjain, PIN 456006. Patni Bazar is the locality named in the listing, and the listed distances put the temple and the ghats within walking range. The YatraDham.org directory puts the bhawan about 700 m from Mahakaleshwar Temple.
| Detail | As listed on YatraDham.org (4 Nov 2026) |
|---|---|
| Address | Patni Bazar, Modi Ki Gali, Ujjain 456006, Madhya Pradesh |
| Distance to Mahakaleshwar Temple | About 700 m |
| Distance to Ram Ghat | 550 m |
| Distance to Harsiddhi Mata Temple | 800 m |
| Distance to Ujjain Junction railway station | 1.6 km |
| Distance to Indore Airport | 57.6 km |
| Meals | Food not provided |
The directory gives straight figures, and a walk through narrow lanes can be longer than the number suggests. Treat each as a guide, not a measured route.
Location and walking distances
For a pilgrim, location is the main reason to pick a bhawan. Being close means you can walk to early aartis, return for rest in the afternoon and avoid auto fares in crowded lanes.
Ram Ghat and Harsiddhi
The listing places Ram Ghat at 550 m and Harsiddhi Mata Temple at 800 m. That makes it practical to combine a morning bath at the Shipra ghats with temple visits on foot. One possible loop is Ram Ghat first, then Mahakaleshwar, then Harsiddhi later in the day. On festival days the lanes fill up, so allow extra time and do not rely on a single walking estimate.
Station and airport access
Ujjain Junction railway station is listed at 1.6 km, which is a short auto ride, and Indore Airport at 57.6 km. If you land at Indore, plan a road transfer to Ujjain and add buffer time for traffic. The figures come from one directory only, and distances differ between sources, so check your route on a map and ask the property how late guests can arrive.
Why distances vary by source
Directories and booking sites measure from different points, such as a temple gate, the queue entrance or the city centre, and some round to the nearest few hundred metres. We rely on a single source here, so the sensible approach is to treat 700 m as a rough guide and verify the walk by asking the property when you call.
Room types and rates
YatraDham.org lists four kinds of space. These are from-rates, meaning the lowest price shown, and the amount you actually pay depends on dates, season and availability. We are not showing any other rate because we found no other source that we could confirm.
| Room type | Capacity/size | From rate (Rs) | Tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-bed AC room | 2 beds, 144 sq ft | 1,200 | Rs 60 |
| 3-bed AC room | 3 beds | 1,500 | Rs 75 |
| AC dormitory | 16 beds | 4,100 | Rs 205 |
| Common hall | Shared space, per person | 200 per person | Rs 10 per person |
2-bed and 3-bed AC
The 2-bed AC room is listed at 144 sq ft from Rs 1,200 plus Rs 60 tax. The 3-bed AC room starts at Rs 1,500 plus Rs 75 tax. For a couple or a parent with a child the smaller room is usually enough, while a family of three can use the larger one without paying for a second room. Ask whether extra bedding is possible, because the listing does not say.
AC dormitory (16)
The dormitory is an AC space for 16 beds, listed from Rs 4,100 plus Rs 205 tax. It is priced for a group, which suits a family party, a satsang group or a bus of pilgrims travelling together. Divided across 16 people, the from-rate works out to roughly Rs 256 per bed before tax, which is a rough calculation from the listed total and not a rate the property quotes. For other dormitory choices, read our guide to a dormitory in Ujjain.
Common hall
The common hall is listed from Rs 200 plus Rs 10 tax per person. It is the budget option, and shared space means less privacy and more noise. The directory's general rules say single guests are not permitted, yet the common-hall listing appears to allow singles. That is a contradiction on one page, so a solo traveller should ask the property directly before relying on it.
Check-in, refund terms and ID rules
These are the rules shown on the YatraDham.org profile, and the ones most likely to cause trouble.
| Rule | As listed | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Check-in | 10:00 | Ask what happens if your train arrives earlier |
| Check-out | 09:00 | Plan the morning aarti and breakfast around an early exit |
| Early check-in | Request needed the previous day | Message the property a day before arrival |
| Refunds and changes | Confirmed bookings are non-refundable and non-modifiable | Book only when your dates are fixed |
| Identity | Government ID required; guests aged 18 and over | Carry original ID for every adult |
| Food | Not provided; no outside or non-veg food | Plan meals nearby |
| Parking | Listed as available | Ask about space and charges before you drive |
The no-refund rule is the one to take seriously. If your travel plans could change, because of a train delay or a family illness, think hard before you pay for a confirmed booking. Check-out at 09:00 is also earlier than at many hotels, so if your onward train leaves in the evening you will need a plan for luggage and rest.
The listing also states that single guests and unmarried couples are not permitted under its general rules, even though the common hall appears to allow single guests. Because the page itself is not consistent, confirm your exact situation with the property before booking.
How to book
There are two practical routes, and neither is guaranteed to have space on your dates.
Via YatraDham
The directory profile at YatraDham.org's Agrawal Bhawan page shows the room table and takes bookings. Pick your room type, check the date-specific rate, read the terms before paying, and keep the confirmation. Remember that confirmed bookings are non-refundable. Expedia also carries a listing for the property, but we could not confirm its details, so we are not quoting anything from it.
Direct enquiry (verify)
If you want to ask about a dormitory block, early arrival or a group, contact the property directly. We are not publishing a phone number because we could not verify that the number shown on the directory belongs to the property itself. Look for contact details through the booking confirmation or an official source, and ask for any promise on timing or rooms in writing.
Who it suits and alternatives
A bhawan like this is built for pilgrims who want a clean, basic room close to the temple, not for guests who want hotel services such as meals, a restaurant or flexible cancellation.
Families and groups
The 3-bed AC room and the 16-bed dormitory make the place a fit for families and groups. A joint family can book rooms side by side, and a group can use the dormitory together. Book early in busy periods, because shared accommodation is the first to go when large groups plan a trip.
Solo budget
The common hall gives a solo traveller the lowest listed entry price, but the page is not clear on whether single guests are accepted, so ask first. Light sleepers and anyone carrying valuables should think carefully about shared space. A hotel or a guest house may suit a solo traveller better.
Other dharamshala options
If Agrawal Bhawan is full or the no-refund rule does not suit you, compare our guide to a dharamshala in Ujjain and the list of hotels near Mahakaleshwar Temple. For anyone who wants a refundable booking, a standard hotel may be the safer choice, because the bhawan's terms are strict.
Pilgrims often ask which type of stay is best. There is no single answer. Choose the bhawan when walking distance and a low price matter most, and choose a hotel when you want meals, flexibility and services.
Late arrivals and trip planning
Because check-in is listed at 10:00 and early arrival needs a request the previous day, a pilgrim who lands at dawn after an overnight train should message the property the day before. Ask where luggage can be kept if the room is not ready, and confirm gate timings for late-night arrivals. Plan your first meal outside, since the property does not provide food, and keep your ID handy because the desk will ask for it at check-in.
