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 coloured by
its brave past. It is naturally and owed with a beautiful landscape and salubrious
climate. Of interest here are numerous monuments associated with the Holkars. |

Orientation |
| The older part of town is on the western side of the
railway line, the newer part on the east. If arriving by train, leave
the station by platform No 1 for the east side of town and by platform
No 4 for the west side. The railway station and main bus terminal are
close together but are separated by a complicated flyover system. Not
surprisingly a number of hotels have appeared in the fence between the
two and people just march straight through. |
