The historical temples Indreshwar and Indrapur have contributed to the naming of the city of Indore. The city had been the previous resident of the Holkar Kings, founded by Malhar Rao Holakar.

Ahalyabai was her name, and she was an ardent Hindu so erected numerous temples all across the country.
In 1818, the empire was actually grabbed by the British after the Anglo Maratha war. So, the entire Maratha kingdom became a part of the British Raj. The Treaty of Mandsaur was signed between the British and the Marathas. In this treaty the Marathas were bound to hand over Cantonment town to the British. As a result it was mandatory for the Marathas to shift their capital from Maheshwar to Indore.
