On the one hand were her religious charities: feeding houses, riverside ghats, and temple reconstruction, most famously of Kashi Vishwanath, demolished by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1669. But she was also capable of good governance. A British official – who had no special incentive to flatter “native” figures – would describe her as “one of the purest and most exemplary rulers that ever existed”.</ins></div></td></tr>

Remembered as part-queen, part-saint ever since, there’s no doubt that Ahilyabai is a historical figure of importance.</ins></div></td></tr>

On the face of it, this is somewhat odd. The rani left Maharashtra aged eight, and her career was largely spent in today’s MP. She was born in Ahmednagar district, yes, but at Chondi, almost 100km outside the city that now bears her name.</ins></div></td></tr>
