Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary
Madhya Pradesh is one of the most incredible states in India. The entire landscape of this central Indian state is teeming with historical ruins, some of which even date to pre-historic times. Here lies Bhimbetka Caves with paintings of pre-historic humans, the Buddhist Stupa at Sanchi, the architectural marvels of Mandu, the temples of Khajuraho, and so much more. It is also a treasure trove for nature and wildlife enthusiasts thanks to its National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries at Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Pench, Panna, and so on. Moreover, it has a number of religious hotspots such as Ujjain, Omkareshwar, Mahakaleshwar, and Amarkantak. All in all, if you are a traveller, Madhya Pradesh should certainly feature on your bucket list.

However, being the second largest state of India, it is quite impossible to cover the entire Madhya Pradesh in one go. Generally, Madhya Pradesh has four broad sections – the western part consisting of Indore, Mandu, Ujjain, Omkareshwar, and Bhopal; the eastern part comprising Khajuraho, Panna, Orchha, and Chitrakoot; the northern part encompassing Gwalior, Shivpuri, and Chanderi; the southern part covering Jabalpur, Amarkantak, Bandhavgarh, Pench, and Kanha.

For this trip, we concentrated on the eastern and northern parts of Madhya Pradesh. We basically wanted to explore the archaeological sites and historical ruins found in these areas. It took us 6 full days to cover these parts. Here goes our 6-days itinerary for exploring Madhya Pradesh.

Day 1: Reaching Khajuraho and exploring the temples
A pleasant autumn morning welcomed us as we alighted from the train in Khajuraho . The Gita Jayanti Express, which we boarded from New Delhi the previous evening, reached Khajuraho 30 minutes before its scheduled time. Outside the station, it was bustling with passengers, who haggled with a handful of auto-rickshaws and shared trekkers.
We took an auto to cover the 6 km ride to the temple town of Khajuraho. As we drove through the bumpy road, Khajuraho reminded us of Hampi. Like Hampi, we could inhale the whiff of history even before we entered the main town of Khajuraho.
We checked in at Hotel Harmony, which is just a stone’s throw away from the Western Group of Temples. Earlier, we had decided to take a rest and a quick nap before exploring Khajuraho as we were dead tired after a helluva journey (that consisted of two overnight train journeys and air travel). However, once we had set our feet in Khajuraho, all our exhaustion vanished into thin air. We swiftly showered, got dressed, devoured dosas and pooris, and set out on our adventure.
A bit of Khajuraho’s history will be handy here. Khajuraho was the religious capital of the mighty Chandelas, who went on an extraordinary spree of constructing temples, seen never before or afterwards in the entire Indian subcontinent. The Chandelas built as many as 85 temples in Khajuraho, an unmatched feat that has immortalized the name of the Chandelas in the annals of Indian history. The temples in Khajuraho testify to the exceptional engineering skill of the Chandela architects. All in all, the Khajuraho temples manifest the zenith of India’s Nagara style of architecture. However, Khajuraho went into oblivion from the 11th century and its history was revived by the eminent archaeologist Alexander Cunningham in the 19th century.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 5 Kandariya Mahadeva Temple, Madhya Pradesh](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-04-MP22-369-819x1024.jpg)
The massive temples are living specimens of the excellent skill of Chandela architects and sculptors and prove their mastery. The mere mention of Khajuraho evokes images of erotic sculptures of couples engaged in copulation. In fact, Khajuraho has become synonymous with erotic temple sculptures, which depict various forms of ‘mithuna’. Funnily enough, only 10% of Khajuraho’s temple carvings are erotic in nature. The enormous volume of carvings on the walls of Khajuraho temples belongs to Hindu deities, Dikpalas, demi-gods like Ganas and Gandharvas, Celestial Women such as Apsaras and Surasunadaris, amorous couples, animals, secular scenes like war and hunting, and geometric and floral designs.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 6 Erotic sculptures of Khajuraho](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-04-MP22-327-1024x683.jpg)
The temples in Khajuraho are spread across a vast area. Hence, they are categorized into three sections: Western Group, Eastern Group, and Southern Group.
We started exploring Khajuraho with the Western Group of Temples. The temples in this area are the most well-preserved and perhaps the most beautiful ones in Khajuraho.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 7 Lakshmana Temple](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-04-MP22-241-Edit-819x1024.jpg)
One by one, we visited the Lakshmana Temple (dedicated to Vaikuntha Vishnu), Devi Shrine (a statue of Brahmani sits inside), Varaha Mandapa, Kandariya Mahadeva Temple (devoted to Lord Shiva), Mahadeva Shrine, Devi Jagadambi Temple (houses an idol of Devi Parvati), Chitragupta Temple (consecrated to Surya, the Sun God), Vishwanatha Temple (dedicated to Lord Shiva), and Chausath Yogini Temple.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 8 Devi Jagadambi Temple](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-04-MP22-420-1024x756.jpg)
Exploring the Western Group of Temples took the entire morning. It was time for lunch when we finished. Following lunch, we visited the new ASI museum near Hotel Lalit. The museum is vast and has well-stacked galleries.
Next, we went to the two temples of Southern Group. These temples are situated a bit away from the main town. Both the Duladeva Temple (dedicated to Lord Shiva) and Chaturbhuja Temple (accommodating an admirable Vishnu statue in ‘tribhanga’ position) were extraordinarily beautiful.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 9 Duladeva Temple](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-03-MP22-41-1024x683.jpg)
Day 2: Visiting Eastern Group of Temples and Raneh Waterfalls:
We started our second day with a lip-smacking breakfast at Raja Café. Later, we visited the Eastern Group of Temples. This cluster of temples is located around the Khajura Sagar, also known as the Ninora Tal. The main temples of this group are Vamana Temple (dedicated to Vishnu’s 5 th incarnation), Javari Temple (devoted to a four-armed Vishnu), Brahma Temple (houses a Shiva linga with four faces), and Ghantai Temple (ruins of a Jain temple).
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 11 Vamana Temple](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-03-MP22-121-e1689519487473-1024x683.jpg)
Afterwards, we explored the Jain temples of Khajuraho such as the Parshvanatha Temple, Adinatha Temple, and Shantinatha Temple. With this, we finished our temple trail in Khajuraho.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 14 Parshwanatha Temple](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-03-MP22-183-Edit-1024x906.jpg)
Post-lunch, we decided to visit the Raneh Waterfalls. It lies some 20 km away from Khajuraho and can be reached within 30 minutes.
Raneh is a natural waterfall on the Ken River. The river’s erosional activity has led to the formation of 98 feet deep canyon made up of granite in varying shades of colours ranging from pink and red to black and grey.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 16 Raneh Waterfalls](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-03-MP22-60-776x1024.jpg)
We finished exploring Khajuraho with the Light and Sound Program held at the Western Group.
Day 3: A quick stop at Dhubela on the way to Orchha:
On our third day, we bade Khajuraho adieu and headed towards Orchha. En route, we halted at Dhubela . At present, Dhubela is an otherwise run-of-the-mill village, characterized by lush greenery. But, in the past, it served as the centre of Maharaja Chhatrasal’s Bundelkhand kingdom. Dhubela has also become synonymous with Chhatrasal’s legendary daughter, Mastani. Mastani, who was later married to Peshwa Baji Rao I, spent a good part of her life in Dhubela and so, Dhubela is often referred to as the land of Mastani.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 17 Dhubela Museum](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-04-MP22-467-Edit-Edit-1024x731.jpg)
Dhubela still bears the testimony of a once-prosperous kingdom. The village is dotted with various architectural specimens built by Chhatrasal, who is famously called the ‘Lion of Bundelkhand’. We visited the following places in Dhubela:
1. Maharaja Chhatrasal Museum – it once served as the palace of Chhatrasal and is now converted into a fascinating museum showcasing Gupta and post-Gupta era artefacts excavated from various parts of Bundelkhand.
2. Mastani Mahal -a palace built by Chhatrasal for his beloved daughter Mastani.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 18 Mastani Mahal](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-04-MP22-532-1024x683.jpg)
3. Hriday Shah Palace – a dilapidated palace built by Chhatrasal’s eldest son, Hriday Shah.
4. Chhatri of Maharani Kamlapati – the cenotaph of Chhatrasal’s first wife Kamlapati which stands on the bank of the Dhubela Lake and is decorated with around 140 Bundeli-style of paintings.
5. Chhatri of Maharaja Chhatrasal – the cenotaph of the valiant ruler built by Peshwa Baji Rao I.
6. Chhatri of Chhatrasal’s Horse – the cenotaph of Chhatrasal’s faithful horse, Bhale Bhai.
7. Sheetal Garhi – a 17 th -century fortress built by Keerat Singh, the grandson of Chhatrasal.
8. Mahoba Gate – a spectacular gate built by Chhatrasal.
After our brief yet memorable sojourn in Dhubela, we drove straight ahead and reached Orchha in the afternoon.
We quickly checked in the hotel and head out to catch the sunset at Betwa River with the Chhatris on the backdrop. Alas! No sooner had we reached the riverside than the rain started. Our plan of enjoying the sunset sadly went down the drain.
Day 4: Exploring the erstwhile Bundeli capital of Orchha:
The next morning, thankfully the weather turned sunny and perfect for exploring the historic town of Orchha . Before embarking on the journey, let’s learn one or two bits about Orchha’s history. Orchha was made the capital of the Bundeli kingdom by Raja Rudra Pratap Singh in 1531 CE. It remained the capital of the entire Bundelkhand from 1531 to 1783 CE. Rugged hills, dense forest and the Betwa or Vetravati River surrounded Orchha thus securing it and hiding it from the onslaught of the Mughal forces. In fact, the word ‘Orchha’ aptly means hidden. The town remained hidden from the Mughals and continues to remain elusive to tourists and explorers even today.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 19 Outline of Orchha](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/22-10-05-MP22-828-Edit-1024x576.jpg)
We kicked off our adventure in Orchha with its eponymous fort. The imposing Orchha Fort is an amalgamation of massive and magnificently built palaces. It took us over 4 hours to explore the entire Orchha Fort complex. Also, we opted for the audio tour guide of Madhya Pradesh tourism. It was cheap (INR 25 per pre-recorded audio guide along with headphones), incredibly informative and convenient, and also gave us the freedom to explore the sites as per our choice.
Gradually, we took a tour of various sections of the Fort:
1. Diwani-e-Aam – a court where the King used to hold assemblies with his council of ministers.
2. Raja Mahal – it was built by Raja Madhukar Shah and characterized by a fusion of Mughal and Rajput styles of architecture as well as lavish Bundeli style of paintings.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 20 Parts of Orchha Fort](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/22-10-05-MP22-690-NEF_DxO_DeepPRIME-Edit-1024x731.jpg)
3. Jahangir Mahal – it was constructed by Raja Bir Singh Deo Bundela for Mughal Emperor Jahangir and set apart by 8 domes and 236 chambers, intricately carved doors with elaborate arches and interiors decorated with trellis work, lapis lazuli inlays, and glazed blue tiles.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 21 Majestic Fort](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/22-10-05-MP22-725-Edit-1024x671.jpg)
4. Sheesh Mahal – it was built as a pleasure retreat and is now converted into a heritage hotel by Madhya Pradesh Tourism.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 22 Sheesh mahal](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/22-10-05-MP22-724-Edit-1024x683.jpg)
5. Rai Parveen Mahal – it was the home of the beautiful courtesan, Rai Parveen.
After travelling the nooks and crannies of the Orchha Fort for 4 hours, we took a quick rest and a brief lunch at the restaurant of the Sheesh Mahal. Recharging ourselves, we set out to explore the rest of Orchha.
Our next destination was the iconic Chhatris of Orchha. The Chhatris are cenotaphs of Bundela rulers of Orchha, earmarking the ground where the Kings were cremated.
There are 14 Chhatris, built between the 16th and 18th centuries. Apart from Bir Singh Deo’s Chhatri which resembles a palace, the cenotaphs follow the Nagara style of temple architecture. They are modelled on ‘panchayatana’ style with ‘garbhagriha’ inside and ‘shikharas’ at the top.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 23 Chhatris of Orchha](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/22-10-05-MP22-796-Edit-Edit-1024x640.jpg)
Next, we climbed a small hillock to reach the breathtaking Laxmi Narayan Temple. It was built by Raja Bir Singh Deo Bundela. The temple is a unique structure as it resulted from the mingling of architectural styles of both temple and fort.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 24 Lakshmi Narayan Temple](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/22-10-05-MP22-869-Edit-1024x819.jpg)
The most intriguing feature of this temple is the presence of vivid murals on its interior walls and ceilings. The lively, colourful paintings are the finest specimens of Bundeli style of painting, which resulted from a marriage of Rajput and Mughal styles.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 25 Wall paintings](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/22-10-05-MP22-839-NEF_DxO_DeepPRIME-1024x844.jpg)
Afterwards, we reached the sky-kissing Chaturbhuj Temple. It was here that the idol of Ram Chandra was originally supposed to be placed. The 105-metre-high temple now houses a statue of Shree Krishna and Shree Radhika, worshipped daily at regular intervals.
The exterior of this massive temple is ornately decorated with floral motifs and religious emblems. In stark contrast, the interior is plain and austere.
Our last stop at Orchha was the Ram Raja Temple. It is the only temple in India where Ram Chandra is worshipped as King. The evening arati at Ram Raja Temple is a spectacle to behold.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 26 Ram Raja Temple](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/22-10-05-MP22-888-1024x640.jpg)
After finishing the tour of Orchha, we drove to Jhansi. From Jhansi, we boarded the train and reached Gwalior in the evening.
Day 5: Waking up in a cloudy Gwalior and exploring Morena:
We woke up to peacocks’ call on our fifth morning. We were staying at Neemrana’s Deobagh in Gwalior, and the peacocks’ divine call served as our alarm clocks. Instead of rushing out to explore Gwalior, we took it slow and enjoyed a relaxing morning on the well-curated lawn of Deobagh with the peacocks and squirrels as our companions.
After a comforting breakfast, we decided to explore the archaeological ruins of the three sites in Morena – Bateshwar, Garhi Padavali, and Mitaoli. With a cloudy sky and a light drizzle, we set out for Morena.
Our first stop for the day was the intriguing Bateshwar Group of Temples . The temple complex, situated amidst the once infamous Chambal ravines, was previously a jumble of countless ruined structures. Gradually, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) went to unprecedented lengths and restored many of the shrines here. At present, Bateshwar has around 200 temples. In fact, ASI is still engaged in restoration works in Bateshwar.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 27 Bateshwar Group of Temples](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-06-MP22-990-Edit-1024x545.jpg)
The name Bateshwar is probably derived from Bhooteshwar, another name of Lord Shiva. According to experts, the Bateshwar Group of Temples belongs to the Gurjara – Pratihara era. The shrines of Bateshwar were built between 750 – 800 CE. Eventually, the temples were reduced to mere rubbles. It is however unclear as to how these shrines were destroyed. No sign of invasion or attack was found here. Presently, the common consensus is that an earthquake in the 13th century led to the decay of Bateshwar. Gradually, the debris was engulfed by the forest and Bateshwar remained hidden from the prying eyes.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 28 Omgoing restoration work](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/22-10-06-MP22-1002-Edit-edited.jpg)
As we walked, the riveting archaeological site began to unfold before us. Present-day Bateshwar can best be described as rows of small temples arranged in neat order amidst the scattered ruins. The entire site is filled with broken pillars, wrecked friezes, and fragmented sculptures. A Hanuman statue, smeared with orange vermillion, stands at the centre and is still worshipped by the locals. Needless to say, we were overwhelmed by the plenitude of artefacts in Bateshwar.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 29 Hanuman statue at Bateshwar](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-06-MP22-1030-Edit-Edit-Edit-1024x576.jpg)
After Bateshwar, we visited the Garhi Padavali where stands an insanely carved ‘mukha mandapa’ of a temple, the main portion of which is now lost in oblivion. It is undoubtedly one of the most intricately carved temples in India. There is hardly an inch left without elaborate sculptures. Every pillar and ceiling is decorated with ornate carvings.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 30 Garhi Padavali](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/22-10-06-MP22-1054-Edit-edited.jpg)
We were stunned by the exquisite wall panels showcasing the Trimurti, the birth of Shri Krishna, Goddess Chamunda, the Sun God Surya, and the slaying of Abhimanyu in the battle of Kurukshetra.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 31 Ceiling panel](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-06-MP22-1040-1024x683.jpg)
Our last stop in Morena was the Chausath Yogini Temple of Mitaoli . At present, it goes by the name of Ekattarso Mahadeva Temple. The temple is circular and roofless, as tantric rituals involved worshipping the environment along with its five principal elements, also due to the belief that the yoginis could fly. Due to its hypaethral structure, it is also believed that this temple was built for the study of astrology, astronomy, and mathematics by observing the transition of the sun.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 32 The amazing sculpture of the temple](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-06-MP22-1089-1-819x1024.jpg)
The temple is circular, with a radius of around 52 m. The outer round-shaped wall has 64 small chambers with an open ‘mandapa’ supported by pilasters and pillars. These chambers once accommodated the representation of the ‘yoginis’. At present, they contain small Shiva lingas. At the centre, there stands another circular temple, which houses the Ekattarso Mahadeva linga.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 33 Inside the temple of Mitaoli](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-06-MP22-1107-Edit-1024x683.jpg)
As we strolled around the temple and peeked inside the minuscule chambers, we sensed the strong presence of a spiritual aura. This may be due to the fact that this Chausath Yogini temple was one of the foremost places in ancient India for practising Tantric rituals.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 34 Mitaoli Temple](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/22-10-06-MP22-1062-Edit-1024x683.jpg)
After exploring Morena, we decided to go on a food trail in the streets of Gwalior. We relished the renowned Boondi Laddoo of Bahadura Sweets, Gajaak from the well-known Daulat Ram Gajaak Bhandar, Paneer Jalebi and Kachori at Jodhpur Mishtaan Bhandar, and Gilori Petha at the iconic Panchiraaj.
Day 6: A date with the eponymous Fort of Gwalior:
On our last day in Madhya Pradesh, we visited the resplendent Gwalior Fort . The Fort, set atop a solitary rocky outcrop of the Vindhyas and spread across a staggering 3 square kilometres and rising 36 feet, is a wonder in itself.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 35 The Gwalior Fort](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/22-10-07-MP22-1350-Edit-edited.jpg)
The fort is comprised of various monuments that date back as early as the 7th century CE. It took us almost 5 hours to complete exploring this enormous Fort.
1. Sculptures of Jain Tirthankaras – the rock-cut sculptures found in the Gopachal and Siddhanchal Hills.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 36 Jaina statues at Gwalior Fort](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/22-10-07-MP22-1457-1024x683.jpg)
2 . Man Singh Palace – the grandest and most stunning section of the Gwalior Fort characterized by six colossal cylindrical towers capped with cupolas, corbelled brackets, elaborate lattice-work, chhattris, and vibrant mosaic tiles.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 37 Inside the Man Singh Palace](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/22-10-07-MP22-1297-NEF_DxO_DeepPRIME-Edit-1024x683.jpg)
3. ASI Museum – it is situated inside a building which dates back to the British era.
4. Kirti Mandi – the handiwork of Raja Kirti Singh Tomar with faint traces of painting and coloured tiles.
5. Vikramaditya Palace – it was built in 1516 CE and named after Raja Vikramaditya, son of Raja Man Singh.
6. Jahangir Mahal & Shahjahan Mahal – it was used as a resting place for Mughal troops rather than for royalty.
7. Teli Ka Mandir, one of the loftiest buildings within the premises of the Gwalior Fort and set apart by its hybrid architecture of Dravida and Nagara styles.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 38 Teli Ka Mandir](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/22-10-07-MP22-1431-731x1024.jpg)
8. Saas-Bahu Temple – these twin temples were built by the Kacchapaghata ruler, Mahipala, in 1093 CE and originally called Sahasra Bahu Temple as it was dedicated to a thousand-armed form of Lord Vishnu.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 39 22 10 07 MP22 1401](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/22-10-07-MP22-1401-1024x819.jpg)
9. Chaturbhuj Temple – it houses an inscription that contains one of the earliest known uses of mathematical zero.
10. Gurudwara Data Bandi Chhor – it was constructed to commemorate Guru Hargobind Singh’s incarceration inside the Gwalior Fort by Mughal Emperor Jahangir.
11. Gurjari Mahal – a charming palace built by Raja Man Singh for his Gujjar queen, Mariganayani.
Post-lunch, we went to the Jai Vilas Palace. This opulent palace is the residence of the Scindias, the erstwhile rulers of Gwalior. Originally, this lavish palace was constructed to welcome the then Prince of Wales. It was designed by Lt. Col. Sir Michael Filose and displays a fusion of both Tuscan and Corinthian architectural styles. Although it is still used by the Scindias as their residence, a part of it with 35 rooms has been converted into Jiyaji Rao Scindia Museum.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 40 Jai Vilas Palace](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/20221007_162928-1024x576.jpg)
During sunset, we paid a visit to the tomb of Muhammad Ghaus, who was a 16th-century Sufi saint and also a prolific music master. Mian Tansen was one of his foremost disciples.
Mohammad Ghaus’s tomb was commissioned by Mughal Emperor Akbar and depicts a synthesis of the Lodhi style of architecture and structural ornamentation peculiar to Gujarat. The mausoleum is a marvellous specimen of delicate craftsmanship. Built with sandstone, it is decorated with lattice or ‘jali’ works on all sides.
![Madhya Pradesh: The Perfect 6-day Itinerary 41 Tomb of Hauj Khas](https://thefloatingpebbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/22-10-07-MP22-1498-Edit-1024x576.jpg)
In the same compound lies the final resting place of Sangeet Samrat Tansen. Compared to his master’s resting place, Tansen’s tomb is modest.
With Tansen’s Tomb, our Gwalior tour came to an end.

Mitaoli: An Enchanting Circular Temple
Mitaoli is a town where the renowned Chausath Yogini Temple resides. The temple is perched on a hill embraced by lush greenery. A climb of around 100 steps will take you to the grandeur of this impressive circular temple. As inscriptions within the sanctuary claim, this ancient sanctum is said to have been built by Maharaja Devapala. Interestingly, the Parliament House in Modern Delhi is believed to have been inspired by the circular plan and architectural complexities of the Mitaoli temple! Additionally, it is said that Mitaoli, Padavali, and Bateshwar formed a brilliant triangle where a university existed approximately 1,000 years ago! This esteemed learning centre situated in Madhya Pradesh was said to be a hub for imparting knowledge in Arithmetic, Astrology, and Hinduism to students using sunbeams.
Bateshwar: A Cluster of Serene Temples
The Bateshwar temples are a congregation of nearly 200 small-scale sandstone splendours dedicated to Lord Shiva and Vishnu. Spread over 25 acres of land, these sanctums were built on sloping hills near Padavali. The temples were constructed between the 8th and 10th centuries AD, likely during the Gurjara-Pratihara era. Interestingly, the surrounding wilderness is teeming with beautiful birds like peacocks, parakeets, and kingfishers. One can often spot the national bird, the peacock, roosting and displaying on the rooftops of the temples.

Padavali Fort: A Legacy in Stone
Approximately 25 kilometres from the city of Morena lies the imposing Padavali Fort, built in the 18th century by the Jat Rana rulers of Dhaulpur. Benevolently guarded by statues of a lion and lioness, the fort also houses a temple that once served as a sacred place to worship Lord Shiva. Every stone used in the construction of the fort and temple has a story to tell through its intricate carvings and inscriptions.
A Glimpse into Madhya Pradesh’s Glorious Past
The columns, lintels, and pillars are adorned with carved scenes from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Puranas. The divine trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are depicted throughout their childhood, youth, and later years. Even more, carvings portray Krishna Leela, Samudra Manthan, the wedding of Ganesha, Shiva dancing in his fearsome form, the incarnations of Lord Vishnu, and countless other deities and goddesses.
All three locations stand as grand testaments to Madhya Pradesh’s rich architectural history, leaving visitors mesmerized. The Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board is working diligently to ensure that these places are not missed by those exploring the wonders of Madhya Pradesh.

Is buying just hotel stocks better or a collection of stocks which gain from travel hungry Indians? 17 stocks from the whole tourism ecosystem
There can be a debate on whether, after the run up that hotel stocks saw in the last three years, are they cheap or not, and whether one should buy them now. But when it comes to tourism and the possibility that it will grow at a much faster rate, there is little room for debate. Now the question is if one buys only one set of stocks, for example hotel stocks, they come with their own plus and minus, right from the business risk of that industry to the fact that in tourism business, there are many segments, so there is a premium segment, there are travelers who travels by train and stay in medium size hotel which are not even listed. But then he has spent money in booking his ticket which has been captured on a railways ticketing platform. So, why not have that railway ticketing platform in a small portion of the portfolio.

Chanderi: A Fusion of Heritage and Elegance

![madhya pradesh tourism board photos Chanderi: A Fusion of Heritage and Elegance](https://www.mptourism.com/web/image/catalog/Blog Image/Chanderi Fort.jpg)
A quaint town in Madhya Pradesh, Chanderi has earned global fame for its beautiful textile - Chanderi sarees- known for their elegance and design. But there's more to this town that emanates an old-world charm, and you might have seen glimpses of it in movies like 'Stree' and 'Sui Dhaaga'. Did you know the town also has a great historical significance, showcased through its various monuments? You can even visit Chanderi Festival, which will be hosted by Madhya Pradesh Tourism between September 21-26, 2023, to experience the rich heritage and culture of the place.
Let's know more about this destination.
A Melting Pot of Cultures
Historians argue that early traces of human civilisation in Chanderi date back to the Mesolithic period, as depicted in the cave paintings of a nearby rock site, Nanaun. More prominently, the stone inscriptions excavated in the region indicate that Kirti Pal of the Pratihara dynasty made it his capital in the 11th century.
The occasional mention of Chanderi in the Mahabharata further establishes the importance of the town. Legend goes that the picturesque city was built by King Sishupala, Lord Krishna's cousin, in the Vedic period. Moreover, it used to be a busy trade route in ancient times, as documented in famous travel chronicles like that of Ibn Battuta.
Over the centuries, Chanderi served as the seat of many important rulers--from the Kachhwahas to the Mamluks, from the Mughals to the Bundelas and the British, and then the Sindhias in 1861--with each of them leaving behind remnants of their heritage and culture, adding to the historical significance of this town and influencing its deep-rooted traditions. The magnificent architectural structures in this destination bear testimony to its rich and fascinating past.
Architectural Marvels
Here are some of the top heritage sites in Chanderi that you should not miss:
Chanderi Fort
The fort, home to kings from subsequent dynasties during different periods, shows how different cultures shaped its architecture. The fort has three important gates called Khooni Darwaza, Hawa Paur, and Kati-Ghati, which have fascinating historical anecdotes associated with them.
For instance, historians say that it is at Khooni Darwaza that the Malwa Sultans hung the bodies of enemies. On the other hand, Kati-Ghati, located on the south-western side of the fort, was built under the patronage of Jiman Khan, who wanted to impress his father and the then Sultan of Malwa, Ghiyasuddin Khilji. The legend goes that while building it, the architect realised he had committed an error in the construction. Locals believe he committed suicide and his spirit continues to haunt the gate even today.
Koshak Mahal
Located just a few kilometres away from the main town is Koshak Mahal, built by Sultan of Malwa, Mehmood Shah Khilji. This ancient multi-storeyed palace is known for its arched gateways and unique structure that distinguishes it from the other monuments in the town. It has four palaces of equal dimensions that are situated at equal distances from one another to ensure adequate ventilation and light on all four sides.
Badal Mahal
This beautiful sandstone gateway, with a height of about 50 ft, surrounded by high walls, was built to welcome kings and other important guests to Chanderi. While it is called 'Mahal', there are no palaces on either side of the gate!
Jama Masjid
This is the largest mosque in Chanderi, constructed under the Delhi Sultanate in the 15th century. The premises comprise a spacious open court with a sanctuary and arched cloisters on its north and south respectively. While the structure of the building is unique, the detailed carvings on its arches, door and windows speak of a refined artistic taste. Interestingly, the finial (decorative top) of the massive domes has elements of Kalasa and Padmakosa, which are typically seen in Hindu temple architecture.
Lakshman Temple
Located near Parmeshwar Tal (pond), this temple has the perfect setting and makes for a unique travel experience. Dedicated to the Hindu deity Lakshman, the temple is known to have been built by Bundela king Anirudh Singh in the 18th century.
Shehzadi ka Roza
You must visit this memorial dedicated to Princess Mehrunissa. The legend goes that her father did not approve of her falling in love with a commoner and ordered his assassination. Unable to accept this, the aggrieved princess ended her life. Her father built Shehzadi ka Roza in her memory in the 15th century and entombed her next to her deceased lover. It is a beautiful structure made entirely of grey sandstone and features designs inlaid with blue enamels.
Six-yard Elegance
A symbol of royalty, Chanderi sarees are not just a part of our heritage but also valued immensely in the world of contemporary fashion. This delicate and opulent handloom, which was first weaved by the Koshti community who migrated from Jhansi to Chanderi, flourished the most during the Mughal era. In the early 20th century, the then-declining art received its due recognition once again under the patronage of the Scindia royal family. An integral part of the rich legacy of Chanderi, what makes these elegant weaves eye-catching are their gorgeous motifs embroidered with golden or silver zari on a sheer, lightweight fabric made of silk or a cotton-silk combination.
Chanderi Festival
To celebrate the many unique features of Chanderi's rich heritage, Madhya Pradesh Tourism will be hosting 'Chanderi Festival 2023: Weaving Tales of Tradition' with much pomp and enthusiasm. The five-day festival, marked by various exciting events and activities, promises an enriching and memorable experience, as you explore the cultural elements that are synonymous with Chanderi.
Stay connected for the latest festival updates by joining us on social media. But wait, there's even more excitement in store! Brace yourself for an upcoming mesmerising sound and light show, where the rich history of Chanderi will unfold in all its glory.
How to Reach
Reaching Chanderi is quite convenient whether you travel by road, rail or flight. Take a look:
By Road : You can avail of cab service to Chanderi from Gwalior, Indore, Bhopal, Shivpuri , Jhansi, Tikamgarh, Vidisha, Sanchi, Lalitpur, Guna and Ashok Nagar.

‘Yoga with Tourism’: Madhya Pradesh’s mantra on International Yoga Day
Besides women getting employment in the tourism sector, the sense of comfort and security among women tourists, especially solo women travellers, has been increasing.
![madhya pradesh tourism board photos madhya pradesh tourism board photos](https://indianexpress.com/wp-content/themes/indianexpress/images/google-news-icon.png)
More than five thousand Paryatan Sakhi performed yoga at 50 tourist destinations in Madhya Pradesh, including some of the UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Khajuraho, Bhimbetka, Sanchi Stupa, Pachmarhi, Mandu and Gwalior, to mark the International Yoga Day on Friday.
The event was organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, sharing the message of ‘Yoga with Tourism’ across the state, and keeping in mind the theme, ‘Yoga for self and society’ of the day.
![madhya pradesh tourism board photos](https://data.indianexpress.com/election2019/track_1x1.jpg)
Facilitated by project partner organizations under the Safe Tourism Project for Women, and the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board (MPTB), the grand yoga event also saw the participation of local women motivating other women towards tourism.
The event provided Paryatan Sakhi who never visited the destination earlier with an opportunity to visit the sites and exposed them to the beauty, glorious history and rich culture of the state, increasing their awareness of these places and inspiring them to visit them.
The event was marked by the presence of project support organisations of MPTB, local administration, members of the District Archaeological Tourism and Culture Council, stakeholders of the project, hoteliers, girls/women who received skill and self-defence training, school and college students, and heads of establishments associated with tourism ventures.
![madhya pradesh tourism board photos Festive offer](https://images.indianexpress.com/2024/06/UPSC_65_970x150_Without_Offer.png)
The Safe Tourist Destination for Women initiative by MPTB, in collaboration with the Nirbhaya Fund of the Ministry of Women and Child Development and the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, is no less than a benchmark to connect and make women feel safe in tourist destinations to increase the number of women tourists.
Under this initiative, ten thousand women are being trained and linked with tourism-related service sector and forty thousand women and girls are being provided with self-defence training.
So far, more than eight thousand women have been trained for 48 job roles in the tourism sector.
With the motto of “ Dil Khol ke Ghumo, Hindustan ke dil mein aap safe hai ,” the efforts made by the Tourism Board in collaboration with the community are leading to a significant increase in the number of female solo tourists across the state.

Cow slaughter: 2 booked under NSA in Morena, Madhya Pradesh
In another case, the state bjp government on saturday invoked the nsa against two men accused of involvement in cow slaughter in seoni.
The stringent National Security Act (NSA) has been invoked against two persons arrested after the recovery of cow meat from a village in Madhya Pradesh's Morena district, police said on Sunday.

Following a complaint of cow slaughter, the police on Friday night seized beef and cow skin from a house at the Bengali colony in Noorabad village of the district, an official said.
A villager, Anipal Gurjar, complained that he saw some people slaughtering a cow and when he opposed it, he was attacked by them on Friday evening, Sub Divisional Officer of Police Adarsh Shukla said.

Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav reacts to MPPSC paper leak allegations, says will not tolerate any negligence
On paper leak rumours, superintendent of police jitendra singh of the indore-based regional unit of cyber police informed that an investigation has been initiated and appropriate action will be taken..
![madhya pradesh tourism board photos MPPSC Exam](https://static.indiatvnews.com/ins-web/images/lazy-big.jpg)
Significantly, the statement by the CM follows after the police initiated an investigation over a report where a candidate informed that a Telegram channel is allegedly selling the MPPSC question papers for thousands of rupees each. He said a QR code for payment had also been attached herewith to the Telegram account.
Speaking of the alleged rumors, Superintendent of Police Jitendra Singh of the Indore-based regional unit of cyber police said they have received information about this Telegram account.
"We are investigating it with the help of the Crime Branch. Appropriate action will be taken after the investigation," Singh added.
Meanwhile, amid the ongoing controversy, it is pertinent to note that the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) on June 22 shunned all the claims about a paper leak while calling them misleading and baseless.
Debunking the rumors, in a statement released, MPPSC secretary Prabal Sipaha said, "Baseless and misleading news is being circulated on social media and other publicity mediums regarding the confidentiality and sanctity of the preliminary round of State Service Examination 2024 and State Forest Service Examination 2024 to be held in two shifts on June 23 across 55 district headquarters. Both will be conducted on June 23 at the scheduled time."
"Strict action will be taken against those spreading misleading information and rumors on social media and other means about the recruitment exams conducted by MPPSC," the release added.

MP govt to develop places linked to Lord Ram and Lord Krishna as pilgrimage sites CM Yadav
Bhopal, Jun 22 (PTI) The Madhya Pradesh government will develop the places associated with Lord Ram and Lord Krishna in the state as pilgrimage sites, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has said. The government has also decided to construct welcome gates dedicated to these deities at the entry points of state capital Bhopal, he said. CM Yadav issued directives to this effect during a review meeting of the Culture and Tourism Department on Friday, an official said. "The Madhya Pradesh government will identify the places associated with Lord Ram and Lord Krishna in the state and develop them as pilgrimage sites," Yadav said. He directed the department to construct welcome gates dedicated to Lord Rama and Lord Krishna at the entry points of Bhopal city and also make plans to set up entry gates dedicated to Raja Bhoj, an 11th century king from the Paramara dynasty, and Vikramaditya, a legendary king mentioned in Indian literature. Yadav also gave directions to officials to build entry gates at the state boundaries so that people get to know about the culture and places of religious importance in Madhya Pradesh, the official said. The chief minister asked the administration to chalk out plans to develop religious places in a bid to encourage religious tourism. The department was also told to make an action plan to celebrate Gita Mahotsav on Manas Jayanti in the state to spread Indian culture and philosophy among the common people in the state. The places associated with Lord Ram and Lord Krishna should be developed with the help of local elected representatives, Yadav said. The number of tourists in the state has been growing, he said and emphasised the need for branding of the tourist places. Local products and religious tourism should be promoted through various museums, the CM asked the officials.
