Maheshwar City Guide

Rajgaddi and Rajwada :
A lifesize statue of Rani Ahilyabai sits on a throne in the Rajgaddi within the Fort complex. This is the right place to begin a tour of Maheshwar, for this pious and wise queen was the architect of tis revived importance. Other fascinating relics and heirlooms of the Holkar dynasty can be seen in other romms which are open to the public. Withinthe complex is an exquisite, small shrine which is the starting point of the ancient Dussehra the day is installed reverently in a splendid palanquin and carried down the steep fort road to the town below to receive the yearly homage of the people of Maheshwar.

Ghats :
Peshwar Ghat, Fanase Ghat and Ahilya Ghat line the river Narmada, flights of steps lead down from the sandy bankds to the river, and through the day a kaleidoscope of rural Indian can be seen here, in the pilgrims and holy men who sit here in silent meditation, in the rows of graceful women who carry gleaming brass pots down to the holy, life giving river, in the ferry loads of villagers who cross and recross these surging waters. Lining the blanks, too, are poignant memorials in stone to the satis of Maheshwar, who perished on the funeral pyres of their husbands.

Temples :
With their soaring spires, the many tiered temples of Maheshwar are distinguished by their carved overhanging balconies and their intricately worked door-ways. Temples to see are: Kaleshwar, Rajarajeshwara, vithaleshwara and Ahileshwar.

Maheshwari Sarees :
Introduced into Maheshwar 250 years ago by Rani Ahilyabai, the sarees are renowned throughout India for their unique weave. Woven mostly in cotton, the typical Maheswari saree has a plain body and sometimes stripes of checks in several variations. The mat border designs have a wide range in leaf and floral patterns. The pallu is particularly distinctive with five stripes, three coloured and two white alternating, running along its width. Maheswari has a reversible border, known as bugdi.
