Madhya Pradesh: Heart of India

Madhya Pradesh is full of rich history, a wide range of wildlife, unique flora, and delicious delicacies. It's a little gem that needs attention. Read this post to know all about who, where, and what is the heart of India. Sit down! We plan to tell you every little detail about the places to visit in Madhya Pradesh. 

Historical places to visit in Madhya Pradesh

Madhya Pradesh is a hub for history lovers. It was ruled by the Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, and Mughal empires. One can find hundreds and thousands of years old structures, stories, and cultures still intact and waiting to be explored. 

Khajuraho

Who hasn't heard of Khajuraho Temples in Madhya Pradesh? The city has many Jain and Hindu temples, which are known for their intricate sandstone carvings and sculptures. In these structures, we can witness brilliant Indo-Aryan architecture. 

The town is divided by the state government into western, eastern, and southern parts. Khajuraho was created by the Chandel Empire between 950 and 1050 AD and once had 85 such well-decorated temples. However, over time, many of them were destroyed. Today only 22 temples remain. 

2. Sanchi rises

The Sanchi Stupa is located in Raisen and is said to have been built between the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. The symbolic representation of the Buddha and his ideologies is unique and something that every traveler will appreciate in this place. 

The stupa was built by Ashoka, the greatest Mauryan king after he converted to Buddhism. It has been renovated several times. It was also built around 1912 by Sir John Marshall. The national emblem of India, known as the Ashok Chakra, is taken from the Ashok Pillar in Sanchi. 

Built after Ashoka's death, the gates have carvings depicting important Buddhist scenes such as Buddha's enlightenment, first sermon, the siege of Kushinagar, Emperor Ashoka's visit to the Bodhi tree, etc. Ashoka's Sanchi Stupa is located 120 kilometers from Bhopal. Visitors can enter from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The ticket price is INR 40 for adults and INR 600 for international tourists. The main attraction is the old statues and the four gates. 

3. Gwalior Fort

Do you want to know how kings lived in the first centuries? Visit Gwalior Fort and see for yourself. This 6th-century fort stands tall and proud on the Gopachal Hill in Gwalior. The majestic Vindhayan sandstone fort was subjected to many attacks but the strength it contained did not allow the fort to be defeated. The fort displays beautiful architecture, adorned with some breathtaking sandstone sculptures, stone sculptures, and beautiful works of art. The tall towers and blue exterior tiles give the fort a classic royal charm. A part of this fort that attracts many tourists is the Tamarind tree planted by Tansen. Legend has it that whoever eats a leaf from this tree gets a sweet voice. Other attractions of this fort include the statues of Jain Tirthankars, Gujari Mahal, Karan Mahal, Man Mandir Palace, Jauhar Kund, and Suraj Kund and to tickle your funny bones, the Saas-Bahu Temple. 

It takes about 4-5 hours to fully explore the fort. Visitors can enter from 6:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The entry fee for an Indian adult is 75 INR and 40 INR for children. Foreigners have to spend INR 250 to enter the fort. Gwalior Fort is indeed one of the best historical places to visit in Madhya Pradesh.

4. Orchha Fort

Orchha is a less explored jewel in the state. The town was established in the Bundelkhand region by the Bundela chieftain Rudra Pratap sometime around the 16th century. The age-old fort of Orchha still stands tall on an island at the banks of Betwa.

The most popular attractions of this fort include the Jehangir Mahal and Sawan Bhadon Mahal built by Vir Singh Deo, Sheesh Mahal, Dauji ki Kothi, and Baba ki Gufa, and Hardaul ki Haveli. Do attend the light and sound show in the evening, and enlighten yourself with the history of this gorgeous fort. 

A unique thing to know about the locals of this area is that they consider Lord Rama as their king, while the Bundelas who established the town are worshipped as demigods. The best  time to visit this calm town is during winter when the sun isn’t harsh. Reaching the fort is not a tough task. The closest airport lies in Gwalior, and the railhead nearest to Orchha is in Jhansi. 

If you’re a history buff, Orchha’s forts and temples built in the 16th and 17th centuries should be on top of your list of places to visit in Madhya Pradesh.

Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

I visited Gwalior in March 2016. It was very hot when I visited there. It was a nice weekend getaway 

How to get there from Delhi?

Dept - New Delhi (NDLS) time - 6:00 AM to Arr Gwalior Junction (GWL) time - 9:30 AM. Train details - Bhopal Shatabdi. Train Number - 12002 INR714

Ones you reach the Gwalior railway station you can take a local Auto and they would be able to take you to the hotel address that you have the reservation. On this trip the hotel that I booked was a mistake. I will not recommend it to any one hence will not share any details either

Best time to go? - Between October to March

Places to stay? - Gwalior is a city and you can find lot of staying options. However not many have tie ups with the major hotel booking sites. I preferred a reasonable one to stay however the room quality was very poor. I would recommend if you are booking hotel online its okay to spend a little more money rather than having a sour experience at hotels
