Madhya Pradesh is a landlocked state located in the heart of
India. It is surrounded by the states of Rajasthan to the northwest, Uttar
Pradesh to the north, Chhattisgarh to the east, Maharashtra to the south,
and Gujarat to the west.
Khajuraho is major attraction of Madhya Pradesh. It is a World Heritage Site
and it attracts so thousands of tourists every year with its impressive
carved temples. Once the capital of Chandela rulers is 595 km from Delhi. The
embodiment of the great artistic activity of the 9th to the 12th centuries,
only 22 temples temple out of 85 have survived. Although only a small group
of all the temples have erotic carvings, this is the main reason for the
popular reputation of Khajuraho. It is strange that such a large state does
not attract that many visitors, not in the least because two of Indias best
national parks (Kanhha and Bandhavgarh) are located in this state. Besides
that, the fort of Gwalior in the north is worth a visit. The capital Bhopal
with its parks, big mosque and lakes is also a good place to stay and from
which to explore Sanchi . The latter is an important Buddhist site where the
stupas and monasteries will keep you occupied for at least a day. Finally,
the city of Bijapur deserves a detour as well. It has an impressive mosque
and in the surrounding area you can lay your eyes on some of the finest
Hindu architecture in Madhya Pradesh, if not India as a whole. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
