Ahilya Devi Maheshwar Fort, commonly known as Ahilya Fort, is a historically significant fort located in the town of Maheshwar on the banks of the sacred Narmada River in Madhya Pradesh. The fort is closely associated with Rajmata Ahilyabai Holkar, one of India’s most respected and visionary rulers, who made Maheshwar the capital of the Holkar dynasty in the 18th century. The fort complex includes royal residences, temples, courtyards, and river-facing ghats, reflecting graceful Maratha architecture and spiritual harmony. Overlooking the Narmada, the fort is admired for its serene atmosphere, historical legacy, and cultural importance, making it a key heritage destination for travelers exploring the Malwa and Nimar regions.
