Who was Ahilyabai Holkar? Was she just a local queen with limited influence, or did her legacy shape Hindu civilization in profound ways? Join us for a free webinar hosted by HPN as we delve into these questions with Deepali Patwadkar, author of “Ahilyabai Holkar: The Guardian of Indic Civilization“.
In this insightful session, Deepali will share the remarkable story of Punyashloka Devi Ahilyabai Holkar, the iconic 18th-century ruler of Malwa. Ahilyabai’s leadership was marked by military acumen, cultural revival, and compassionate governance. She not only strengthened her kingdom but also preserved Indic traditions by building temples, establishing Sanskrit Pathashalas, and promoting cultural heritage across Bharat.
