Achievements in reviving the heritage:
One of Queen Ahilyabai’s greatest achievements was reestablishing a Jyotirlinga at the Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi. The original temple was one of the twelve Jyotirlingas. On the orders of Emperor Aurangzeb, the temple was destroyed, and a mosque was constructed on the remnants of the temple.
