History
Sehore stands at the foothills of the Vindhya Range in the middle of the Malwa region. It has a long and glorious past. Shaiva, Shakta, Jain, Vaishnav, Buddhists and Nath priests made Sehore a significant seat of meditation/ worship. Sehore was a part of the Bhopal estate. After formation of Madhya Pradesh, it was bifurcated, in 1972 and a new district - Bhopal - was carved out of it.
Ancient lore states that Maharshi Patanjali, the illustrious founder of a Yoga sect, also spent some time here in prayer, penance and worship. Folklore also points to the visits of Lord Rama, Laxman and Sita to different places in and around Sehore. Sehore has many temples, Mutts, Shrines, Mosques and Churches of historical antiquity and religious significance. Sehore, thus, boasts of a glorious tradition of communal harmony and culture.
Sidhhapur is the old name of Sehore. According to a rock-edict found in the Seevan river, it got its name from Sidrapur. According to an old document, Sehore got its name from the Anglo-Indian corruption of Sher or Lion as pronounced by the British, since lions or "Sher"s were in abundance in the nearby jungles.
