 HISTORY :-
Momin (Momna) is a major caste of Gujarat Muslims, the village was formed by those migrants.
The term "momin" in Arabic means someone who is a true follower of Islam, and this term was given to Hindu converts from a
number of castes who adopted the Shia faith. They were converted by Shia preachers.Momin or Mumin (Arabic:‫ ) مـؤمـن‬is an Arabic
study
Islamic term, frequently referenced in the Quran, meaning "believer".
Momin means believer, who achieves a higher level of faith, he is true believer in all respects and is above Muslim when it comes to
faith because the degree of faith begins at Muslim but ends at momin. About momin or believer Allah says in Quran:“The believers
are only those, when Allah was mentioned, feel fear in their hearts and when His ayaat were recited unto them, they (i.e.) increase
their faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Alone)

HISTORY

An ancient town on the banks of the Narmada River is mentioned as Mahishmati in ancient
Indian scriptures,the same name you might have heard in the blockbuster Bahubali.
•This is supposed to be a place where Ravan was held prisoner for 6 months by king
Sahastrarjun.
•His temple can be seen at the RajRajeshwar temple complex.
•Both, our epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata mention Maheshwar. It was also a part of
Avanti that we better know as Ujjain.
According to historical records,
•Maurya and Gupta rulers have also ruled Maheshwar during their
महेश्वर time.
•After which the Delhi Sultanate and Akbar conquered it.
•Marathas reclaimed this beautiful town in the 14th century.
Village

•And when Ahilya Bai Holkar took over Malwa, she moved the
capital from Indore to Maheshwar. She erected numerous temples, a
fort, and many ghats in Maheshwar during her reign.
During the reign of Ahilya Bai, 108 Brahmins used to make and
worship 1,25,000 small Shivaling from black soil every day and
offered them to Narmada. 

The 244-year-old structure certainly looks like it's supposed to: an 18th-century Maratha wada (castle) with stoic, well-crafted facades,
meticulously detailed stonework, abundant wooden columns and carved arches, and fronted by the archetypal central courtyard.
Emperor Akbar built a fort here in the 16th century; the fort was taken over by Malhar Rao Holkar in the 18th century. When Ahilya
Bai Holkar came to power in 1760, she shifted the capital of the territory from Indore to Maheshwar.
