People from all across the world come to take dip in holy river Kshipra, by doing so they think that they will set themselves free from all their sins but they do not know that they are exposing them self to several health problems and various dangerous diseases. Ujjain is one of the ancient and holy city of India situated on the banks of river Kshipra. Khipra river is known for its sacracy and hence, enjoys status of mother goddess in mythology. Performance of various anthropogenic activities at the banks of the river leads to depletion of water quality. This induces a vast change in the river ecology and upsets the aquatic flora and fauna. Keeping this in view, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of mass bathing on water quality in terms of physicochemical and microbiological parameters before, during and after mass bath. In the present study higher values of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and Chemical oxygen demand (Cod) were observed indicating higher degree of organic pollution rendering water to be unsuitable for drinking and bathing purposes. DO was found to be low and within a range of 3.3-6.0 mg/litre which declined during and after mass bath certifying the increased pollution load on the water body. Microbial parameters like faecal and total coliform were found to be high during and after mass bath. Several cases of water born diseases like typhoid, skin, eye, ear and urinary tract infections were reported from local and near by city hospitals immediately after mass bath especially in summer. Further, water quality of Kshipra river was assessed on the basis of water quality index, according to which water was reported to be of very bad status. As per CPCB norms water was found to be of D class and was not fit for drinking, bathing and domestic use without proper treatment.
