Many, many years ago, there was a queen in India named Ahilyabai Holkar.
She worked hard to fix old temples and build holy places for people to visit.
She also thought girls should go to school, and she helped widows get married again.
People remember her as a kind and fair leader who cared about her people.
Every year on the day she died, people honor her memory.
Recently, three very important leaders in India talked about her.
Their names are Amit Shah, Yogi Adityanath, and Devendra Fadnavis.
They all said she was a great and inspiring person.
Her good work, like helping others and doing what is right, is something people still look up to today.
