Start : Kukshi
End : Ujjain
Distance : 281 km
Route :- Kukshi - Maheshwar - Indore - Ujjain
Early morning we left Kukshi for Maheshwar. I was already excited to see the handlooms for which Maheshwar is famous for.
But it was something else which actually makes Maheshwar a mesmerising place.
Whole credit of making Maheshwar a fantastic
place goes to Ahilyabai Holkar (अहिल्याबाई होळकर).
place goes to Ahilyabai Holkar (अहिल्याबाई होळकर).Ahilyabai also known as philosopher Queen was
a great ruler and the Queen of the Kingdom of Malwa.
Maheshwar was the capital of her kingdom.
The temple and the ghat is just awsome.
The intricate work done is just mesmerizing.
The river here is very clean.
I couldn't stop myself to go for a swim in the river.
There are various handlooms in the town.
A fantastic place for shopping good sarees and dress materials.
We did some shopping at Pawar handlooms.
12KM from the town is a place called SahastraDhara. Here is a huge temple of Ekmukhi Dutta (एकमुखी दुत्त).The temple is built in a very vast area. A pleasant place overall.
Post lunch we left for Ujjain.
The road is via Indore to Ujjain.
At Ujjain the main attraction is the Mahakal temple (महाकाळ देऊळ). The security here is so much that it seems that one is in a military area :) This is one of the 12 Jyotirlinga and hence a very sacred place.
The stay at Ujjain was a homestay at a Neelkanth Niwas.
