About this place
Indore, the commercial capital of Madhya Pradesh, sits on the Malwa Plateau at an altitude of about 553 meters. As the largest city in the state with a population of over a million, it serves as a major commercial hub while blending a rich historical past with rapid modernization. The city's heritage is deeply tied to the Holkar dynasty, particularly Rani Ahilyabai Holkar, who played a key role in planning and building Indore. Known for its warm and friendly locals, Indore has also earned the distinction of being the cleanest city in India.
Indore's vibrant food culture is a highlight for visitors, with traditional breakfast items like kachoris, samosas, and pohas widely enjoyed. The city has established a strong industrial base alongside its satellite townships of Pithampur and Dewas, and remains famous for traditional industries such as cotton cloth and bangles. Evening cool breezes across the Malwa Plateau make for pleasant nights, and poets have long praised the beauty of Shab-e-Malwa (the night of Malwa).
