Khandwa is a small religious town in the Nimar region with roots in the past, from the many earliest temples and shrines placed in the region one can assume the town’s importance during the epoch. The fact that geographically it is uniquely placed gives it leverage; in the bygone times with the limited railway routes this was the place that linked all the four railway routes of eastern, northern, southern and western railways. Every prominent personality in India has visited Khandwa in his or her time, from Jagatguru Adi Shankaracharya, Swami Dayanand Saraswati, Swami Vivekanand, and Loknayak Lokmanya Tilak to Mahatma Gandhi. It was the once the only place that connected North to Deccan and was called the ‘key to Deccan’ and has seen many rulers as well as dynasties rise and fall, come and go Mauryas, Shungas, Satavahanas, Kardamakas, Abhiras, Vakatakas, Guptas, Vardhanas, Kalchuris, Chalukyas, Kanungos, Rshtrakutas, Paramaras, Farukis, Mughal, Marathas, British.
