This is a remarkable temple, a sign of Maratha architecture which is located in the main Ujjain Market.
Once you are in the temple, you will be greeted with a very beautiful walls which were painted around 200yrs back and the the mesmerizing idole of lord RadhaKrishna ji.

Just sit there & get lost in your inner spiritual persona.

It's walking distance from Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, if you are an explorer then I would suggest go walking & avoid taking auto or any transport. Enjoy the walk !!
