Pir Matsyendranath Samadhi

Matsyendranath or Machhindranath is the leader of the Nath Sect and master of Guru Gorakshnath who started Hath Yoga. He is also the guru to seven other disciples that together with Gorakshnath form a group of nine saints called Navnath. The Muslim community believes Matsyendranath to be a Pir (Muslim Saint). It is believed that Matsyendranath took Samadhi here in Ujjain and his tomb is located in a very attractive and secluded place near Gadhkalika temple and Bhartrihari caves near the Kshipra river, around 4 kms from the Ujjain railway station. You can reach the tomb by private auto rickshaws and cabs.
