01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Ujjain—515,215, Asia/Kolkata, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.
Wikidata's localized description: ancient city beside the Kshipra River in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Ujjain is GeoNames ID 1253914. Its recorded administrative path is Ujjain → Madhya Pradesh → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Ujjain occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2025-05-25; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Ujjain ranks 1,106 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 101; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 584. Its 515,215 population value is 0.51 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 0.51 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Ujjain sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected India entries. Ujjain's recorded value is materially below the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Its recorded population is above Ujjain's. Against Ujjain, Bhopal follows Bhopal → Madhya Pradesh → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Ujjain's. Against Ujjain, Kota follows Kota → Rajasthan → India in the source.

Its recorded population is above Ujjain's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 449 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Ujjain's nearest-coordinate gap sits in the second quarter of atlas distances. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 1253914, the coordinate pair 23.1824 / 75.7764, country rank 101 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1269743 at 51.974 km bind Ujjain to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Ujjain's reference point is 23.1824° north and 75.7764° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Ujjain's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Ujjain's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Ujjain's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Ujjain, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
