Dewasदेवास
Spend a half‑day in Dewas, arriving by train from Indore (≈45 min) and visit Devi ki Tekri and Mitha Talab.
Dewas is a small industrial town in the Malwa region, 35 km from Indore. Its main sights – the hill temple Devi ki Tekri and the lakeside Mitha Talab – are close together, so one day (or a half‑day if you’re based in Indore) is enough.
