To commemorate the 300th Birth Anniversary of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar (31 May, 1725 - 13 August, 1795), a webinar in Hindi was organized by BhāratShakti, Sri Aurobindo Society in collaboration with the Indore branch of Sri Aurobindo Society on 22nd June, 2024. The programme included inspiring and informative talks. To celebrate the legacy of this highly inspirational figure of Indian history - one whose untiring works have left an indelible mark on the resurgence and rejuvenation of the Bhāratiya spirit and force, distinguished speakers and performers were invited.
In this part 2, Shri Sunil Matkar, President, Ahilya Natak Mandal, Indore, gives a short biographical account of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar citing some of the illustrious deeds of her life. He enumerates a whole lot of radical laws and reforms that Ahilyabai had initiated and cites some lesser-known details of the celebrated queen’s work such as Maheshwari sari having its origin as a result of one of her economic initiatives.
Thereafter, Shri Matkar and two members of Ahilya Natak Mandal, Smt Rupali and Smt. Ruhi, present a small theatrical episode from Prajahitkarini (doer of good deeds for the public) which highlights Devi Ahilyabai’s work. They also perform a short reading highlighting a heart-touching conversation Devi Ahilyabai had in her last moments with Ma Narmada. These short theatrical readings lend a unique flavour to the event.
During the interaction, some important questions were asked by the participants, and some others shared their observations and insights.
