Along with the historical sites of Khajuraho and Sanchi, lakhs of devotees and tourists are expected to visit Ujjain’s Mahakal and Omkareshwar temples, and Bhojpur Shiva temple. The picnic spots in Bhopal, the city of lakes, are also bustling with tourists. The biggest New Year’s night parties are happening in Bhopal and Indore. Advance bookings are full at city clubs, bars, and hotels. Celebrations are ongoing despite the intense cold, as the weather department has issued an alert for severe cold on the night of December 31. Tiger Reserves Full Until January 4
There are huge crowds at Satpura Tiger Reserve (STR), Pench, Panna, Kanha, Sanjay Dubri, and Bandhavgarh for the New Year. All seats in the core zones of the parks were booked a week in advance, while most bookings in buffer zones are also full until January 4. Thousands of tourists are enjoying safaris to view wildlife. The trend of online orders has also increased rapidly before the new year. A large number of delivery boys were seen gathered near DB Mall in front of the Board Office Square in Bhopal. Delivery boy Naveed Ali said that orders today are much higher compared to before. Religious and Cultural Events Also Taking Place
Devotees from across the country have arrived at Kundalpur in Damoh for darshan of Bada Baba on the New Year. Meanwhile, foundation day is being celebrated at the Adivarth Museum in Khajuraho. Ramlila performances are ongoing from December 27 to 31, continuing on New Year’s Day as well. The special thing is that Khajuraho residents are choosing to visit the Adivarth Museum to watch Ramlila instead of attending hotel parties. Overall, the New Year celebration in Madhya Pradesh is being celebrated as a confluence of tourism, religious faith, and cultural events.
