Gwalior city

Dramatic fortresses, royal palaces, and intricately constructed temples make up the endless list of places to visit in Gwalior. A perfect blend of architecture, literature , and history is Gwalior. In the heart of India, or the state of Madhya Pradesh, lies the royal town of Gwalior.

Gwalior's strategic position on India 's map makes it available from every nook and corner of the world. Due to its hilltop position that overlooks the entire city, the town is famous for the magnanimous Gwalior fort.

Gujari Mahal, Teli ka Mandir, Sas Bahu Temple, Muhammad Ghaus Tomb and Tansen are just a few of the many other historic palaces and monuments that should not be missed. The off-the-beaten paths that take you to Bir Singh Mahal, Padavali and Bateshwar, and the Madhav National Park 's wild trails are a little far from the area, but still command your attention.

Some of the tourist places in Gwalior will cast a spell on you and you will certainly take a detour to enjoy the brilliant architectural wonders. Another jewel in the heart of the city is the fascinating sight of a museum devoted solely to music that runs in the house of the legendary Sarod player, Ustad Hafiz Ali Khan.

In memory of the prestigious Ustad Tansen of Gwalior Gharana, which was one of the jewels of King Akbar 's empire, several music festivals are also organised at the Tansen Memorial.

The city is shrouded with historical events and storeys and can thrill any history buff, tourist, photographer or anyone who loves to ride through ageless monuments back in time. Gwalior is an awesome place to stop by and learn the correct storey.

Temple of Saas Bahu : This temple was originally called Temple of Sahastrabahu, which is another name with many hands for Lord Vishnu. It became popular as Saas Bahu Temple by gradual mispronunciation in the course of time.This temple was built during the reign of King Mahipala of the Kacchapaghata Dynasty, who wanted the Lord of the universe to have a prosperous and fruitful kingdom. For its intricate designs and impeccable carvings, this temple is often praised.

Palace Jai Vilas: If you are interested in witnessing the armors during the reign of Rani Laxmi Bai from the age of Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb to the freedom struggle, then head to Jai Vilas Palace.
