Maheshwar: The Centre of the Universe
A land of temples and textiles
Maheshwar, situated on the north bank of river Narmada, has a dual personality. At first glance it seems like the epitome of tranquillity, with its many beautiful temples but a closer look reveals a humming handloom industry that caters to every part of the country.
Located only 90 kilometers away from Indore, Maheshwar is the perfect weekend getaway for those seeking god as well as those seeking some time off. Not only was this town the capital of Rajmata Ahilya Devi Holkar’s empire during the 18th century, it has also been the centre of handloom weaving since the 5th century.
Much like its world-famous Maheshwari saris, this historic town effortlessly weaves spirituality and folklore into your trip, making it a weekend to remember.
