The bustling city of Indore, in the extreme western part of Madhya Pradesh, is situated on the bank of two small rivulets, Saraswati and Khan. En route to northern India, the Marathas in their battle against the Mughals, built many transit campus in this area which attracted local Zamindars and merchants who settled here with the hope of lucrative trade, thus laying the foundation of an important commercial centre in 1715. The popularity and economy of Indore also spiralled due to its location on one of India’s oldest pilgrimage routes-from Ujjain on Shipra River to Omkareshwar on the River Narmada and onwards to Rameshwaram. It was planned and built by Rani Ahilyabai of the Holkar dynasty, and named in honour of the 18th century Indreshwar Temple. Indore prospered under the holkars in the 17th century and their contribution to the city’s artistic and culture arena is evident from its splendid monuments like the Rajwada palace in the city’s main square and in the craft tradition like Maheshwari saris that continue to flourish. Maheshwar, located 90km southwest of Indore, has river front temples and ghats that were built by Rani Ahilyabai. Maheshwar became a centre for the weaving a extremely fine checked or striped cloth when Rani Ahilyabai invited weavers from neighboring states to weave saris and turban cloth in pastel shades to be given as gift during marriages and other auspicious occasions of the court. When Rani Krishnabai Holkar mahidpur was defeated by Sir John Malcolm in 1818, the treaty of Mandsaur saw the control of the city pass into the hands of the British East India Company. Indore was the summer capital of former Central India province between 1948-1956 and still remains a prominent trade centre.
