The '''Shipra''', also known as the '''Kshipra''', is a river in [[Madhya Pradesh]] state of central [[India]]. The river rises in the North of Dhar district, and flows north across the [[Malwa]] Plateau to join the [[Chambal River]] at the MP-Rajasthan boundary in Mandsaur district. It is one of the sacred rivers in [[Hinduism]]. The holy city of [[Ujjain]] is situated on its east bank.

There are hundreds of Hindu shrines along the banks of the river Shipra.

Shipra is a perennial river. Earlier there used to be plenty of water in the river. Now the river stops flowing a couple of months after the monsoon.

With this reference, the word Shipra is used as a symbol of "purity" (of soul, emotions, body, etc.) or "chastity" or "clarity".

The [[Purana]]s, or ancient Hindu texts, also suggest that the Shipra originated from the heart of Varaha, Lord Vishnu's incarnation as a boar.

Also on the banks of the Shipra is Sage [[Sandipani]]’s ashram or hermitage where [[Krishna|Lord Krishna]], Lord Vishnu's eighth incarnation, had studied.
