Māhiṣmatī / Maṇḍana Miśra's home

Māhiṣmatī is an ancient city on the Narmadā River usually identified with modern Maheshwar in the Khargone district of Madhya Pradesh (its exact location remains debated). It is the traditional setting of Ādi Śaṅkara's debate with the Mīmāṃsā scholar Maṇḍana Miśra, said to have lived there.
