Maheshwar

Maheshwar, set gracefully on the banks of the Narmada River, is a town steeped in spirituality, heritage, and timeless beauty. Once the capital of the Holkar dynasty under Queen Ahilyabai Holkar, it retains her legacy through elegant temples and ghats. The Ahilya Fort, overlooking the river, is the heart of Maheshwar’s charm and now houses a heritage hotel. The intricately carved Maheshwari sarees, handwoven by local artisans, are world-famous. Visitors can enjoy serene boat rides, temple visits, and views of the evening aarti along the ghats.

The best time to visit is October to March.
