Malwa

Malwa (Malvi: माळवा) is a region of western India, lying in the western part of Madhya Pradesh state. It lies at the headwaters of the Chambal River and its tributaries, the Kali Sindh and the Parbati. Ujjain is the ancient center of the region, and Indore is presently the largest city, and commercial center.

The name Malwa is derived from the ancient Aryan tribe of Malavas about whom very little is known, apart from the fact that they founded the Vikrama Samvat, an era dating from 57 BCE widely used in India, which is popularly associated with the king Vikramaditya. The position of the Malwa or Moholo mentioned by Hiuen Tsang (7th century) is plausibly assigned to Gujarat.
