We had heard about Maheshwar which is about 72 km from Indore and has been a seat of power for the Holkar Dynasty for hundreds of years, This is a very serene small city on the banks of the river Narmada, The main attraction is the Ahilyabai Ghat which is a riverfront type ghat on the banks of the river, Best times to visit are early morning to 11:00 and evening from 16:00 onwards to night, They also have a Narmada aarti in the evenings at 20:00 hours everyday, This is a picturesque location and very calming to the mind as u can just keep sitting here in the light river breeze and forget about everything else, The ghat boasts of very ancient temples which have very interesting stories about them, Please do a local guide who are very helpful and knowledgable, they charge about Rs. 350 per session and are worth it.

This fort is amazing, it’s like a city in itself, I loved the fort immediately as it’s both unique as some of the parts of it are non glamourous like Devi Ahilyabai’s residence and seat from where she used to rule the kingdoms, And then when u move lower to the ghat section the imposing walls and the grand ghats along the banks of Narmada river are a site to look at, The fort has aesthetic as well as historic and religious value as there are a lot of historic temples in the fort area, everyone of them are unique in its story telling, The most ancient one being here Ravana had come to do his penance, that old, The fort also houses the famous Maheshwari handloom and sarees are made and sold here. Excellent for a two hour excursion.

The first place to head to here is the Maheshwar Ghat. Situated by the banks of the majestic Narmada River, with its waters glistening a soft golden in the mellow morning sunshine, you will notice how this place brims over with Hindu devotees, seeking holy blessings at this spiritual site. The clanging of bells, the lineup of priests and devotees offering their solemn prayers by the ghat, might look like a sight to the average city-dweller, but for the locals, it is nothing but part of their daily routine.

Rehwa society was found in the 1970’s to support local weavers and sustain their craft. It has grown and now supports many weavers and provides not only an outlet for their work but a chance for the rest of us to own a piece of these beautiful Maheshwari textiles. You can tour through the production area (though most weavers work from home) and see the weavers in action. It is a precise and demanding type of work with incredibly beautiful results. Shopping here supports the work of the foundation, the weavers and ensures the future of this amazing craft. Everyone was very friendly and we enjoyed our visit immensely.
