Mandu & Maheshwar

I got to visit Mandu and Maheshwar as i had traveled to Indore paying a visit to my cousin and niece who are quite settled in Indore. Mandu is a city in Dhar district of the Malwa region in MP, its located around 100km from Indore. Maheshwar is a town in Khargone district located around 90kms from Indore. Posted below are pics from these places :)

First pics from Mandu





These are the pics of the ruins of the fort of Mandu





I loved Maheshwar better, mainly because of the beautfiul carvings present on the temple. Omkareshwar Mandir is located on the banks of Narmada river. Few scenes from the movie Asoka(Starring Sharukh Khan) were shot here. In the late eighteenth century, Maheshwar served as the capital of Rajmata Ahilya Devi Holkar, ruler of the state of Indore. Maheshwar is also famous for the hand loom industries, Maheshwari saris in particular :)

















And as usual, a couple of pics of the flora :-P
