Indore This city derives its from the 18th century Indreshwar temple. Situated in the heart of the Malwa plateau it was the base of the Holkars, former rulers of this erstwhile state. Indore, in fact, was planned and built by Rani Ahilyabai Holkar. Today, it is a throbbing, vibrant city colored by its brave past. It is naturally endowed with a beautiful landscape and salubrious climate. Of interest here are numerous monuments associated with the Holkars.
