#AhilyaFort #Maheshwar
Ahilya Bai commissioned two architects from Rajasthan to redesign and construct parts of the #MaheshwarFort.
The architect brothers Bhujdar and Gajdar turned the Maheshwar Fort into a #Rajasthani palace, complete with #arches, #balconies and #oriel windows.
#TheMaheshwarFort is approached from the #NarmadaRiver (boats are available) through a massive #arched gateway, approached by a long flight of stairs. On the top of the gateway are sculptured figures of musicians.
The gateway leads to a open courtyard housing a couple of memorials or #cenotaph of the members of the Holkar family. They are locally known as chattris. At the centre of the courtyard or the cenotaph complex is a rather Islamic looking beautiful #doomed structure. This is the #chattri or #cenotaph of Vithoji Rao.
The majestic embellished chhatri has amazing #elephant #frieze on its #plinth. It is approached by a flight of stairs leading to a #hexagonal garbhagriha (inner #sanctum).

The breathtaking tall Mountains, the calm #NarmadaRiver and the orange sky, this place looks no less than a magic. #Bhedaghat in #Jabalpur district of #MadhyaPradesh offers spellbound experience, one of which is witnessing these tall mountains changing shapes while one sail along the river. Another one is, #DhuandharFalls which is a major attraction here. A visit to this place would be certainly an unforgettable experience.
