State of Madhya Pradesh Travel Guide: 638 reviews and 2,036 photos

Madhya Pradesh

Madhya Pradesh is not called the "heart of India" only because of its location in the centre of the country. It has been home to the cultural heritage of Hindhuism, Buddhism, Jainism and Islam. Innumerable monuments, exquisitely carved temples, stupas, forts and palaces are dotted all over the State. The natural beauty of Madhya Pradesh is equally varied. Consisting largely of a plateau, the State has everything. Spectacular mountain ranges, meandering rivers and miles and miles of dense forests offering a unique and exciting panorama of wildlife in sylvan surroundings.

Muest See

Tiger

Moments of valour and glory etched in stone Love, Passion, Feasting, Divinity ....arrested in the sensitive chisels of master craftmen.
Meandering rivers lush forests hills and ravines .
The roar of the tiger.
It's the magic of a many-splendoured land Madhya Pradesh.

Khajuraho Temples

Khajuraho Temple

In the temple architecture of India, the Khajuraho complex remains unique. One thousand years ago, under the generous and artistic patronage of the Chandela Rajput kings of Central India, 85 temples, magnificent in form and richly carved, came up on one site, near the village of Khajuraho. The amazingly short span of 100 years, from 950 AD - 1050 AD, saw the completion of all the temples, in an inspired burst of creativity. Today, of the original 85, only 22 have survived the ravages of time; these remain as a collective paean to life, to joy and to creativity; to the ultimate fusion of man with his creator.

Namaste Mahavir: Is it a mistake that there is no CHHATTISGHAR state section on Virtual Tourist? In any case, your Madhya Pradesh page is very good. Best Wishes---
