History:
Maheswar in Madhya Pradesh was the capital of the illustrious ancestor Sri Somavamsha Sahasrarjun, also known as SahasraBahu or Kartaviya Arjun. Written accounts of Kartavira Arjun can be found in Mahabharata, Ramayana and the Puranas. He was a devotee of Dattatreya. Recent history is traced to Mandav Gadh in Madhya Pradesh (modern name being Mandu). Written accounts confirm that Savjis were rulers of Mandu and successfully withstood constant Muslim hordes for centuries. There’s a temple of Sri Somavamsha Sahasrarjun in Maheshwar, MP, dating back to the early 2nd century. The temple was rebuilt in 13th century after withstanding Muslim attacks.
