The two lakes, Upper and Lower, dominate the city and form its nucleus. Bhopal represent a harmonic symphony of the old and the new.

The rock paintings in Bhimbetka are executed mainly in red and white with the occasional use of green and yellow, with themes taken from the every day events of aeons ago.
The scenes usually depict hunting, dancing, music, horse and elephant riders, animals fighting, honey collection, decoration of bodies, disguises, masking and household scenes.

Khajuraho

World Heritage Site: The temples of Khajuraho are India’s Unique gift to the world, representing a paean to life, to love and to joy; perfect in execution and sublime in expression. Life, in every form and mood, has been captured here in stone testifying to the craftsman’s artistry and the extraordinary breadth of vision of the Chandela Rajputs. Architecturally too, the temples of Khajuraho are unique, being different from the temple prototype of their period. Each of the chief compartments is mounted by its own roof, grouped so that the highest is in the centre, the lowest over the portico, a highly imaginative recreation of the Himalayas, abode of the gods.
The Khajuraho temples were built in a short span of a hundred years, between 950-1050 A.D. in a truly inspired burst of creativity. Of the 85 original temples in Khajurabo, 22 still survive, constituting one of the world’s greatest artistic wonders.

Mandu

Perched along the Vindhya ranges at an altitude of 2000 feet, Mandu’s rulers built exquisite palaces like the Jahaz and Hindola Mahal, ornamental canals, baths and Pavilions. Each of Mandu’s structures is an architectural gem, some of them outstanding like the massive Jami Masjid and Hoshang Shah’s Tomb, the architectural isnspiration for the Taj Mahal. The glory of Mandu lives on, in its palaces and mosques’, in legends and songs, chronicled for posterity.

The magnificence and the awesome spectacle of the bathing ritual at the Simhastha ( Kumbha Mela) defies description.
The temples form an integral part of the city and contribute to the continuity of Ujjain’s tradition of greatness. The most famous of these is the Mahakaleshwar Temple which houses one of the tewelve “ Jyotirlings”.

Maheshwar

It was a glorious city at the dawn of Indian civilization when it was Mahishmati, this temple town on the banks of the river Narmada finds mention in the Hindu epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata.

The magnificent momentoes of a glorious past have been preserved with care , giving Gwalior a unique and timeless appeal.
Gwalior Fort: Standing on steep mass of sandstone, Gwalior Fort dominates the city and is its most magnificent monument. The magnificent outer walls of the fort still stand, two miles in length and 35 feet high, bearing witness to its reputation for being one of the most invincible forts of India. This imposing structure inspired Emperor Babur to describe it as “ the pearl amongst the fortresses of Hind”.

Shivpuri

(112 km from Gwalior) Shivpuri is steeped in the royal legacy of its past, when it was the summer capital of the Scindia rulers of Gwalior.

The exquistite Jehangir Mahal, a tiered palace crowned by graceful chhatris is a must-see. In Raja Mahal and Laxminarayan Temple, vibrant murals bring the walls and ceilings alive. Also worth visiting and the Chaturbhuj Temple, Ram Raja Temple and chhatris on the banks of the river Betwa.
The sound and Light show at Raja Mahal in Orchha is a thrilling experience which takes you throught the pages of history. It narrates the discovery of Orchha by a king on hunt and rise and fall of the mighty kins, great battles, saucy romances and feats of valour.

Chitrakoot

(175 km from Khajuraho; 78km from Satna): Chitrakoot, “ the hill of many wonders”, nestles peacefully in the northern region of the Vindhyas. It is a place of tranquil forest glades, quiet rivers and streams, where calm and repose pervade.
