Indore: Praising Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar as a visionary and capable ruler, who worked for justice, good governance , and social welfare, chief minister Mohan Yadav on Monday highlighted the virtues and contributions of the Holkar queen in the Indian cultural arena. Yadav, while speaking during a 'Nayta Manchan' based on the life of Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar in Indore's Lata Mangeshkar Auditorium, said that she was given Rs 8.5 crore by her in-laws as one-fourth of their assets. "This amount was given to Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar for personal expenses," the CM said, adding that the Holkar queen used this amount to realise her thoughts of cultural nationalism. The CM said that Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar constructed four temples and ghats in Ayodhya. She also constructed temples in Varanasi, along with Annakshetra, Dharmshala, and ghats across the country. Yadav also praised the Holkar queen as a visionary and capable ruler, who worked for justice, good governance, and social welfare.
