Ahilyabai Ghat

AHILYABAI GHAT –The old name of the ghat was Kevalagiri Ghat, but in 1778-1785 the ghat was extended and was completely re-built by the patronage of queen Maharani AhilyabaiHolkar of Madhya Pradesh. In honour and memory the ghat is named after her. James Prinsep (1831) has mentioned the name Kevalgiri Ghat, which indicated that the ghat was known by this name till then. Later, Sherring (1868) mentioned the name Ahilyabai Ghat, reflecting upon the change of the name.
