The short answer
When to go to Ujjain
November to February is the most comfortable window for the temple circuit and ghats along the Shipra. October and March are workable shoulder months. April to June brings hot, dry conditions that are hard going in the crowded temple lanes, and July to September is the monsoon, with heavy rain that can flood low-lying ghat areas and make walking difficult.
