Amar Chitra Katha Vol. 773 Ahilyabai Holkar Hindi

In central India, Maharaja Malhar Rao Holkar of Malwa was deeply impressed by the religious devotion and regal influence of an eight-year-old girl named Ahilya. So much so, that he decided to make her his daughter-in-law, a decision he never regretted. Recognizing her capabilities, Maharaja Malhar Rao trained the young girl in the art of statesmanship and entrusted her with administrative responsibilities, even allowing her to lead military campaigns with full confidence in her abilities. Then, in a series of unfortunate events, Ahilya lost her husband, father-in-law, and son. Fearless and resolute, she took charge and transformed Malwa into a content and prosperous kingdom. Her rule was so exemplary that even the British, whom she had staunchly opposed, praised her as a great ruler.
