Indreshwar Mahadev Mandir

The temple was found to be put up on 18th century. Indore is situated on the Malwa plateau, on the banks of two small rivers - the Saraswati and the Khan (known as Kanha earlier).  The rivulets unite at a place where the holy Indreshwar temple is built. Like most of the early civilizations which were built on riverbanks, even Indore was established on the banks of two rivers, at the side of this famous temple.

As per mythology reveals, Raja Shailendra Singh who was on a journey to conquer Ujjain, had laid up his camp besides the banks of river Khan and river Saraswati. He was totally bowled over by the beauty of this place and it was he who laid a Shivling at the summit point of both the rivers, to make it memorable. Thus along with his settlement Indrapur, he got the Indreshwar temple established as well.
