Description:
This ancient temple town was brought back to glory by the able administrator Ahilyabai Holkar during her tenure. She built a fort here and ruled the Malwa region with stunning skill from here. Situated on the banks of the Narmada River, Maheshwar has innumerous temples mostly dedicated to Lord Shiva. After realizing its importance and sanctity, the Peshwas built few Ghats on the River for the public. There are Peshwa Ghats, Ahilya Ghat and many such Ghats found in the town today. The town of Maheshwar is just 90 kms form Indore. Maheshwar today is more famous for its Sarees that are intricately designed and woven here.
