Ahilya Bai Holkar - charcoal pencil sketch



Ahilya Bai Holkar (31 May 1725 – 13 August 1795) (My charcoal pencil sketch)

A brief description of the great lady (courtesy Wikipedia)

Ahilya Bai Holkar was the hereditary noble queen of the Maratha Empire, in early-modern India. She established Maheshwar as the seat of Holkar Dynasty. After the demise of her husband Khande Rao Holkar and father-in-law Malhar Rao Holkar, Ahilya Bai herself undertook the affairs of Holkar dynasty..


The Indian postal department released a postage stamp in recognition of the Indian wome power.
