उज्जैन का द्वारकाधीश गोपाल मंदिर :-
धर्मयात्रा की इस बार की कड़ी में हम आपको लेकर चलते हैं उज्जैन के प्रसिद्ध द्वारकाधीश गोपाल मंदिर। गोपाल मंदिर उज्जैन नगर का दूसरा सबसे बड़ा मंदिर है। शहर के मध्य व्यस्ततम क्षेत्र में स्थित इस मंदिर की भव्यता आस-पास बेतरतीब तरीके से बने मकान और दुकानों के कारण दब-सी गई है।
गोपाल मंदिर के पुजारी जगदिशचंद्र पुरोहित ने कहा कि इस मंदिर का निर्माण दौलत राव सिंधिया की धर्मपत्नी वायजा बाई ने संवत 1901 में कराया था जिसमें मूर्ति की स्थापना संवत 1909 में की गई। इस मान से ईस्वी सन 1844 में निर्माण 1852 में मूर्ति की स्थापना हुई। मंदिर के चाँदी के द्वार यहाँ का एक अन्य आकर्षण हैं।
मंदिर में दाखिल होते ही गहन शांति का अहससास होता है। इसके विशाल स्तंभ और सुंदर नक्काशी देखते ही बनती है। मंदिर के आसपास विशाल प्रांगण में सिंहस्त या अन्य पर्व के दौरान बाहर से आने वाले लोग विश्राम करते हैं। पर्वों के दौरान ट्रस्ट की तरफ से श्रद्धालुओं तथा तीर्थ यात्रियों के लिए कई तरह की सुविधाएँ प्रदान की जाती है।
श्रीराम पाठक ने बताया कि कम से कम दो सौ वर्ष पूराना है यह मंदिर। मंदिर में भगवान द्वारकाधीश, शंकर, पार्वतीऔर गरुढ़ भगवान की मूर्तियाँ है ये मूर्तियाँ अचल है और एक कोने में वायजा बाई की भी मूर्ति है। यहाँ जन्माष्टमी के अलावा हरिहर का पर्व बड़ी धूमधाम से मनाया जाता है। हरिहर के समय भगवान महाकाल की सवारी रात बारह बजे आती है तब यहाँ हरिहर मिलन अर्थात विष्णु और शिव का मिलन होता है। जहाँ पर उस वक्त डेढ़ दो घंटे पूजन चलता है।

history of ujjain :-
The earliest references to the city, as Ujjayani, are from the time of the Buddha, when it was the capital of the Avanti Kingdom. Since the 4th century B.C. the city has marked the first meridian of longitude in Hindu geography. It is also reputed to have been the residence of Ashoka (who subsequently became the emperor), when he was the viceroy of the western provinces of the Mauryan empire.
In the Post-Mauryan period, the city was ruled by the Sungas and the Satavahanas consecutively. It was contested for a period between the Satavahanas and the Ror Sakas (devotees of Shakumbari), known as Western Satraps; however, following the end of the Satavahana dynasty, the city was retained by the Rors from the 2nd to the 4th century CE. Ujjain is mentioned as the city of Ozene in the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, an antique Greek description of sea ports and trade centers in the western Indian Ocean. Following the enthroning of the Gupta dynasty, the city soon became an important seat in the annals of that empire. Ujjain is considered to be the traditional capital of King Chandragupta II, also known as Vikramaditya, the legendary emperor, ruled the city with his famous Navratnas (nine jewels) including Kalidasa, Shanku, Dhanvantari, Betalbhatta, Varruchi, Varahmihir, Kshapdak, Ghatkarpar and Amar Singh who epitomised different branches of knowledge.
In the 6th and 7th centuries, Ujjain was a major centre of mathematical and astronomical research. The famous mathematicians who worked there included: Brahmagupta, whose book Brahmasphutasiddhanta was responsible for spreading the use of zero, negative numbers and the positional number system to Arabia and Cambodia; Varahamihira, who was the first to discover many trigonometric identities; and Bhaskaracharya, or Bhaskara II, whose book Lilavati broke new ground in many areas of mathematics.
Ujjain was invaded by the forces of the Delhi Sultanate led by Iltutmish in 1235, suffering widespread destruction and systematic desecration of temples. Under the Mughal emperor Akbar it became the capital of Malwa. During the last half of the 18th century Ujjain was the headquarters of the Maratha leader Scindia. The Scindias later established themselves at Gwalior, and Ujjain remained part of Gwalior state until Indian Independence in 1947. Gwalior state became a princely state of the British Raj after the Maratha defeat in the Third Anglo-Maratha War, and Gwalior, Ujjain, and the neighboring princely states were made a part of the Central India Agency. After Indian independence, the Scindia ruler of Gwalior acceded to the Indian Union, and Ujjain became part of the Madhya Bharat state. In 1956 Madhya Bharat was merged into the Madhya Pradesh state.
