==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.
