Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Maheshwar

By Anusuya

Looking back at the reams of history

Lost in the passage of time

Are stories of valour and compassion

Of Women who were fenced

With barriers and traditions

Yet they fought the odds of life

And remained determined to serve our land

Mother India will remind every generation

Of the footprints that they have left behind

Salutation to one such Legend today

A brave warrior and a great leader   

Revered as Rajmata and Devi

The Queen of Malwa
