Ahilya bai Holkar fort is located in Maheshwar town,in khargoan district of M.P (India).It was the capital of Malwa ,during maratha Holkar reign.
The exquisite beauty of Maheshwar and River Narmada is captured in many of our Bollywood movies like Ashoka, Padman,Yamla pagla Dewana,few shots of Bajirao Mastani ,Neerja to name a few.....There's more than 100 temples at Maheshwar, telling the stories of Maheshwar. In the late 18th century, Maheshwar, served as the capital of the great maratha Queen Rajmata Ahilya Bai Holkar. She embellished the city with many beautiful buildings....
Ahilya Bai fort houses a beautiful museum ,exhibiting beautiful items used by the Queen,needless to mention is the golden jhula of gopalji, which belonged to Rajmata Ahilya bhai ....besides a beautiful embellished temple ,whose walls are beautiful carved with sculptures ,worked out on soft SANDSTONE....its something to look forward for ,when someone visits the places ...every wall is so unique and beautifully carved out ,might take hours to go thru' ,if someone truly admire such beautiful architectures ,standing by river Narmada....
Many of this carving on the walls inside Ahilya bai Holkar 's fort finds its place in the beautiful Maheshwari sarees ,an exquisite product which has been patented by the artisans of maheshwar...No tourist returns back from Maheshwar without getting oneself a piece of such masterpiece of maheshwar.....The fort ,that houses,the palace, temples might take hours to see and cherish such masterpiece works on its walls ....I just loved it and tried to capture every frame of those carving in my camera lens.....
