| History
The city of Indore,
located on the plateau
of Malwa, is a commercial
centre and Madhya
Pradesh's largest
city. Indore is said
to have derived its
name from the temples
of Indreshwar and
Indrapur. The founder
of Indore, was Rao
Nandlal Chaudhary.
Indore changed hands
several times from
the Rajputs to the
Mughals, and the
Marathas, until they
lost it to the British.
Indore rose to prominence
very late in Indian
history. About the
same as when the
thirteen colonies
were busy trying
to wrest America
from the tight grips
of England, Malhar
Rao Holkar, the founder
of the dynasty, enters
the stage of history.
There
is some debate as to
where the Holkars
came from. The most
widely accepted view
is that the family
was of peasant origin
and of the shepherd
caste.
They are said
to have migrated from
the area
around Mathura in present
Uttar Pradesh to a
village called Hol,
which is some distance
away from Pune, in
Maharashtra. The suffix
'kar' in Maharashtrian
surnames is an equivalent
of the German 'von'
and the French 'du' – that
is, Holkar means, 'of
' or 'from' Hol.
Anyhow,
Malhar Rao Holkar (1694-1766),
by all accounts, was
a hardworking self-made
man and soldier. In
1724, the Peshwa (ruler)
at Pune, delighted
by his bravery and
courage under fire,
gave him command of
500 horseback soldiers
and appointed him as
his general in the
important province
of Malwa, with his
headquarters in Indore.
Later he was given
the privilege of flying
a triangular red and
white striped flag
which later became
the ensign of the family.
Reading
between the lines one
gets the
impression that, as
was very common in
those troubled days
without a waning Mughal
rule at the centre,
Malhar must have become
too hot to handle in
Malwa. The Peshwa might
just have decided to
appease him with increasing
prestige and power.
In 1733, the Peshwa
finally gifted him
the Indore area, effectively
granting him ownership
of a vast terrian stretching
from the Deccan to
Malwa. Inevitably,
Malhar became independent
of Pune's overlordship
and by the time of
the Peshwa's death,
he became the ruler
of Malwa.
There was
some question as to
would ascend
the throne after Malhar,
as his son had been
blown away by a cannon
ball much earlier.
The king himself decided
in favour of his daughter-in-law
Ahilya Bai Holkar (1767-1795),
who ruled from a palace-fort
in Maheshwar. Ahilya
has gone down in history
as an able, compassionate
and shrewd ruler who
had much success with
the iron-hand-in-velvet-glove
technique. In fact
Sir John Malcolm in
his Memoirs of Central
India described the
queen as a 'female
without vanity… exercising
in the more active
and able manner, despotic
power with sweet humanity…'
Though
Ahilya never stayed
in Indore it
is under her reign
that Indore began to
flourish as a city.
To this day she is
remembered and revered
in song and legend
as a just queen known
for her philanthropic
and gracious disposition.
Incidently, the weave
of the famous maheshwari
saris was introduced
by her.
In the confusion following
her death,
the commander
of her armies Tukoji
Rao Holkar of the same
clan (though not a
relative) seized power.
Thus setting a precedent
for his family, as
his son Jaswant Rao
in his turn seized
power upon Tukaji's
death. This kind of
thing was very common
in those days – the
most wellknown of the
power-seizers in India
however came from a
cold wintry island
very different from
the rich colourful
land that India was
then.
However Jaswant
Rao, it seems, had
much
better claims to the
throne than his father.
He was a brilliant
soldier and leader.
He had honed the famous
Maratha guerilla warfare
to almost an art form.
After defeating the
Scindias (of Gwalior)
and the British commander
Col. William Monson,
he went on to lay siege
in Delhi. His waterloo
however came in Deeg
and Farrukabad, where
General Gerard Lake
defeated him in November
1804. An year later
he was forced to sue
for peace. Unfortunately,
this humiliation gashed
the proud spirit of
the warrior a bit too
deep because soon after
this he went insane.
He died in 1811.
Under the
British re-organization,
Indore
became the official
capital of the Holkar
kingdom and a British
resident was stationed
here. The Holkars themselves
remained loyal to the
British throughout,
however in 1857 during
the Indian Uprising
their soldiers decided
not to follow the rulers'
example.
Colonel Henry Durand,
the British resident
in Indore, severely
misjudging the mood
of the public and kept
insisting that 'not
a ripple' would 'break
the calm which reigned
in Central India'.
Almost even as he was
saying this, the soldiers
rebelled. Not for long
however, the leader
of the Uprising Saadat
Khan was captured within
a few months and sentenced
to death by the British.
The
later Holkar rulers,
especially Tukoji Rao
II (1844-1886) who
built the first railway
line and a hospital
among other things,
did much to modernize
and beautify their
kingdom.
In 1947 when India
became independent
Indore joined the republic
of India along with
many other princely
states. However as
with all the erstwhile
ruling dynasties, the
present scion of the
family Richard Holkar
is still revered as
a king by the people.
He, along with his
wife Sally Holkar,
has done a lot of work
in reviving the traditional
arts of Indore, like
the famous maheshwari
saris and fabrics.

| What to see
Places
to see in Indore
Indore has a
beautiful natural landscape
coupled with man-made
historical monuments,
especially those dating
to the Holkar Dynasty.
A landmark of Indore
is the 200-year-old
palace, Rajwada,
built in a mix of
French, Mughal and
Maratha architecture.
This monument built
during the Holkar
Dynasty, is a seven
storey building with
the three lower levels
constructed in stone
and the remaining
floors in wood. Nearby,
is a Jain
Temple,
the Kanch
Mandir
meaning the temple
of mirrors.
The
Indore Museum,
and the Border
Security Arms Museum, at Bijasen
Tikri, atop a hill,
and while you are
at it get your blessings
from the Goddess
Bijasen at the temple
built in 1920. Shree
Sansthan Bada Rawala,
is the original home
of the founder of
Indore, housing a
large library with
as many as 28,000
books and artifacts.
A
must-visit is the
Lal Bagh
Palace,
built between the
late 18th and 19th
centuries, by the
Holkars. It has beautiful
gardens and has influences
of British architecture.
The Gandhi
Hall or
Town Hall, built
in the 19th century,
displays a blend
of Indian and Gothic
styles of architecture.
A
lovely place to visit
is the Chhatri
(Cenotaph)
Bagh, with a number
of Maratha-styled
chhatris (umbrellas),
built in memory of
the Holkar rulers.
Indore is also home
to the worlds largest
statue of the Lord
Ganpati at the Bada
Ganpati temple. Another
place to visit is
Gomatgiri, housing
a 21 feet statue
of Lord Gomateshwar.
Kamala Nehru
Park (Zoo) : More popularly
known as Chidiya
Ghar, it combines
the pleasure of a
park and zoo on a
modest, easy reachable
area. Evening attractions
include elephant
rides, camel rides,
pony rides, goat
cart and buggy rides
(mostly for kids).
It has a restaurant
and an ice cream
parlour overlooking
the Khan river. There
is a children's playground
at the far end of
the park.
|
Pilgrimage
The Kanch
Mandir (Glass Temple)
which is a jain mandir
(temple) is a marvel
in glass. This temple
was built by the "Cotton
King" Sir Hukamchand
Seth in the early
20th century. The
walls, ceiling, floor,
pillars, doors are
entirely inlaid with
glass. The mirrorwork
reflects minute detailing.
There are paintings
done in coloured
glass which depict
stories from Jain
scriptures. At the
top is a special
glass chamber which
multiplies the three
statues of Lord Mahavir
installed there,
into an infinite
number.
The Krishnapura
Chhatris: These are exquisite
cenotaphs of the
three later Holkar
rulers. These memorials
in stone are gracefully
poised on the banks
of the Khan river
with their pyramidal
spires tapering into
soaring kalashas.
These are memorials
built on the cremation
spots of the Holkar
rulers of Indore.
Facing west is the
cenotaph built over
the ashes of another
woman ruler of Malwa,
Maharani Krishnabai.
The other two Chhatris
are of Tukoji Rao
II and Shivaji Rao,
father and son, and
are linked by a common
oblong prayer hall
with ornately carved
arches and pillars
on a high platform
along the garbha
grihas containing
life size statues
of these rulers.
A breathtaking sight
at night when illuminated,
the Chhatris glow
etherally against
the dark of the sky.
An artificial lake
is created in this
stretch of the otherwise
dry Khan river, complete
with a fountain,
well laid gardens
on both banks and
boating facility.
Bada Ganapati: Better
known for its size
than antiquity, this
temple houses perhaps
the largest Ganesh
idol in the world,
measuring 25 ft.
from crown to foot.
Created as a result
of a dream to an
Avantika (Ujjain)
resident Shri Dadhich,
it was built in 1875.
The idol has a most
interesting configuration
of ingredients: bricks,
lime stone, masala
made of Gud, methi
dana, soil collected
from seven moksha
puris: Ayodhya, Mathura,
Maya, Kashi, Kanchi,
Avantika, and Dwaraka,
mud from stables
of horse, elephant
and cow, the powder
of Pancharatna :
heera, panna, moti,
manek and pukhraj
(diamond, emerald,
pearl, ruby and topaz)
and the holy water
from all major places
of pilgrimage. The
metalic frame is
of gold, silver,
copper, brass and
iron.
Geeta Bhavan: Newly
built, adorned with
many statues of Gods
of various religions.
It is open to all,
irrespective of caste,
creed, religion etc.,
with provision for
devouts to pray separately.
Central hall is decorated
with wall paintings
from Puranas, Ramayan,
Mahabharat, and is
used for religious
descourses - Pravachans.
Book stores within
the premises sell
religious books.
Gopal mandir: This
is a Krishna temple
built by Krishna
Bai Holkar in 1832.
Situated on the right
wing of the Rajwada,
it has a big central
hall with stupendous
pillars bearing a
massive roof which
is elaborately decorated.
Its systen of lighting
in the form of huge
glass chandeliers
is eye catching.
Annapurna
Mandir: Inspired by the Meenakshi
temple of Madurai,
four life size elephants
hold an ornately
decorative gate in
plaster. Inside the
complex, apart from
the main temple of
Annapurna Devi are
also temples of Shiva,
Kal Bhairav, and
Hanuman. There is
also a pravachan
hall. The outer wall
of the main temple
is decorated with
colourful reliefs
from mythological
stories.

| Art and Crafts
Madhya Pradesh is
the house of art
and
culture
, and
the Bharat Bhavan
which sits atop the
Shamla Hills, is
a prime example of
that. Designed by
Charles Correa, the
museum houses an
art gallery, a repertoire
company and libraries
of poetry, classical
and folk music. and
since Madhya Pradesh
has a large concentration
of adivasis (tribals),
a visitor at the
Tribal Habitat in
Bhopal gets a feel
of village life in
the state.
However, the most interesting facets of the district are the spectacular cave
paintings at Bhimbetka, a short distance away from the city of Bhopal. Etched
in rock, some of the work is more than 30,000 years old, while the more recent
ones belong to the medieval period. The cave paintings are valuable, not just
for their artistic merit but also because they constitute a treasure trove of
information on the pre-historic age.

state possess everything.
Spectacular mountain
ranges, meandering
rivers and miles
and miles of thick
forests offering
a unique and excellent panorama
of wildlife in herbaceous surroundings.
Madhya Pradesh is
easily accessible
from any part of
India.
Some Wildlife Sites in Madhya Pradesh
Bandhavgarh National Park
This is a small National Park; compact, yet
full of opportunities. It is an excellent
assemblage of trees and foliages. The density
of the Tiger population at Bandhavgarh is
the highest known in India. Bandhavgarh is
also a White Tiger country. Bandhavgarh is
renown for it's big cat population. The Bandhavgarh
region is gifted with a large variety of
natives in terms of animals and birds.
Kanha National Park
Kanha's sal and bamboo
forests, rolling
grasslands and meandering
streams expand over
940 sq km in dramatic
natural grandeur.
Kanha Tiger Reserve
was created in 1974
under Project Tiger.
The park is the only
habitat of the rare
hardground Barasingha
(Cervus Duvaceli
Branderi).
This is original Kipling
country which inspired
him to write the famous
Jungle Book. The same
abundance of wild life
species exists today
in Kanha National Park,
as it must have when
Kipling wandered these
parts.
Panna Tiger Reserve
Panna National Park is located in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.
The river Ken passes through the park, adding to its scenic beauty. The predominant

Nightlife
Madhya Pradesh is
a captivating region
of the Indian Himalayas.
It is often referred
to as the "Magical
Showcase of Nature's
Splendor" ideal
for the travelers to
travel, enjoy and relax.
Abundant green grassland
and wide valleys set
against imposing snow-clad
mountains; crystal
clear lakes, flowing
rivers and spurting
streams; fruit laden
groves and soft terraces
of corn and tea are
characteristics of
Madhya Pradesh. It
is the ultimate travel
destination of India.
It's the kind of place where tourists come for long weekends of lobster cracking
and wine drinking, wading into the gentle waters of Gardiners Bay to wash off
the metro-madness of the five days prior, and spending money hand over fist for
the privilege of it. Deb worked in a resort of sorts, which included single-family
luxury condos for rent or sale, and a set-back, semi-swanky restaurant with a
million-dollar view of the bay and front doors that, for reasons that baffle
me still, remained unlocked at all times. All of this regulating and refining
has lead to the production of some pretty fine stuff-nothing like the rotgut.
Madhya may pose no threat
to Mumbai as the nightlife capital of India,
but still Madhyais doesn't find a reason
not to bang their heads with the pulsating
music of their choice after pouring in a
couple of their favourite beverages down
the neck. Madhya's licensing laws are being
relaxed to encourage a culture of drinking
beer in bars rather than rocking down whisky
at home. Chilled martinis served along with
a plate of mouth-watering kebabs make for
a grand or rather Mughal startup. Step inside
the exquisite Mediterranean restaurant of
Madhya and you'll be greeted by a serene
cozy feeling that needs more adjective than
there is space here for. Whether it's the
handplastered interiors of the restaurant,
the enchanting aroma, the burnt wood furnishings,
handsome craftsmenship, lounge music or the
inspired beverages and cuisine, everything
here makes for a perfect nightout.
Madhya has generally little nightlife, although in major states a few Western-style
shows, clubs and discos are being developed. In most places the main attraction
will be cultural shows featuring performances of Madhyai dance and music. Almost
every large town will have a cinema, some of which will show films in English.
Music and dancing are an important part of life, combining with many other influences
to produce a rich variety of film art.
Clubs and Bars:
Pubs, bars, and discos are always full, from the night till day, up to 6am. Also
you can see all different types of people, but the majority are Indians, thus
this not make much of a difference, unless you have a fight with one of them,
but the atmosphere is always friendly and wonderful. Every day they have different
dress codes just to make it livelier. The best days to go to a pub, disco, or
a bar are Valentines Day or New Year’s Day.
Fire and Ice:
The best days to visit are the weekends when the crowds converge to the floor
and the place is jam packed. People who prefer to dance in smaller crowds may
visit during weekdays (Wednesday & Thursday) when the college-going kids
prefer visiting. Stags (single men or men in groups) are not permitted. The bouncers
are tough and unyielding.
Bar & Kitchen:
The Mediterranean-influenced restaurant and bar is just what the doctor ordered.
The food is light and delicious, the DJ spins soothing sounds and decor is pure
Ibiza, complete with a comfy, cushioned chill-out area tucked away in the back.
Dress well to get past the style police on the door.
Casinos:
A casino is a facility that accommodates certain types of gambling activities.
Casinos are often placed near or combined with Hotels, restaurants.There are
no casinos as gambling is illegal in Madhya.
