Nestled on the serene banks of the Narmada River, Maheshwar is a peaceful riverside town with a rich cultural heritage.
Highlights
The skyline is defined by the majestic fort and elegant temples built in the 18th century by Rani Ahilya Bai, one of India’s most respected and visionary women rulers. Below, the ghats—stone steps leading to the river—bustle with daily rituals, offering a fascinating glimpse into local life.
Traditional Weaving at Ahilya Fort
Within the fort complex, a charitable trust runs a sari-weaving center that keeps Maheshwar’s centuries-old textile tradition alive. Visitors can watch skilled artisans create intricate patterns on handlooms using techniques unique to the region.
