The most beautiful ghat i have ever seen in India! I just wish it was more maintained and not allowed food vendors and coaxing boatwalas. We were so awestruck by the magnanimity of the ghat and the stone structures surrounding it. Bless the queen Ahilyabai Holkar for building such beautiful monuments all over MP. Such a thorough job of artsmanship. A must must on your travel bucket list. Would love to go back stay there for couple of days.

Many scientists identify Maheshwar as the ancient town of Mahishmati.
Believed that Maheshvar is built on the site of the ancient city of Somvangshya Shastrjun Kshatriya and was the capital of the king of Kartavirya Arjuna (Shree Shastrarjun), which is mentioned in the Sanskrit epics of the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
Maheshwar Fort is well preserved to the present day. He stands majestically on the bank of the river, surrounded by many temples and ghats. It is best to enjoy the view of the fort, from the river, hiring a boat.

This temple is beside the frequented ahilya ghats. However, only a few people visit this temple. This temple offers beautiful vistas of the river, it being at a higher elevation than the Ahilyeshwar temple. Do visit the temple on your vist to maheshwar.

This is undoubtedly the most beautiful temple in Maheshwar. On the banks of the Narmada- inside the Ahilya Fort complex this is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The architecture of the temple is very good and it overlooks the Ahilya Ghat. Do note that you will have to climb several steps if you are coming from the ghat area, Worth a visit.
7. Sahastradhara

Reviewed By ShvRm_Traveller - Goa, India
Sahastradhara literally means thousand streams and this impression is formed when river Narmada flows through rocky river bed. The place should be visited in Monsoons to get the impression of thousand streams. However, during other times the water level is low, still it is place worth visiting. The place is about 5- 6 Kms from the Maheshwar town.

Its a good place to see the entire process of Maheswari saree weaving. Since it is inside the fort just above the Ahilyeshwar Temple , its worth a visit. For shopping fanatics there is a small shop at the left side of the entrance that sells sarees,scarfs, dupattas and unstitched cloth.

Shree Datta Dham is located a small distance before reaching Sahstradhara.

The place is revered by Shree Datta devotees.
