Amidst brutally scaled out destruction and attempts to demolish our civilizational centers, our civilization, our culture, our tradition has survived till date because of the extraordinary contribution of men and women, kings and queens, mothers and gurus, who lived and died only in devotion and dedication to serve our blessed Bharatvarsha. In this regard, the golden era of the Saintly Queen of Indore, Devi Ahilyabai Holkar, exhibits an exceptional legacy. Among all her achievements, reconstruction of temples destroyed by invaders and refurbishment of holy sites counts as the most pivotal service to the sustenance of Bharat. Her selfless service is in actuality, the rebirth of our civilizational territory since had not it been Devi Ahilyabai, the centers of our civilizational territory razed to the ground by extremists would have either remained in ruins dumped beneath the forcefully built mosques or would have vanished from the memory of successive generations. It is because of our gurus and such marvel leaders that Sanatana Dharma has enlivened within us regardless of a ceaseless endeavor, and it is hence our foremost duty to remember and pay homage to our beloved saviors of dharma. From Dwarka to Gaya and Gangori to Rameshwaram to building ghats alongside almost all rivers and initiating charities to facilitate pilgrimages, everything at present form is the result of Ahilyabai's diligent determination to restore the Bharatvarsha that was raging in vulnerable forgetfulness.
