About
Gwalior
Gwalior is the largest city in northern Madhya Pradesh and the site
of India's most spectacular hilltop fort. A multitude of reigning
dynasties, of the great Rajput clans of the Pratiharas, Kacchwahas
and Tomars have left indelible etchings of their rule in this city
of palaces, temples and monuments. Gwalior's tradition as a royal
capital continued until the formation of present day India, with the
Scindias having their dynastic seat here. Their personalities and
influence are everywhere, from the grand hospital and the Chhatris
(memorial halls) north of Jiyaji Chowk to the nearby excellent
Sarod Ghar museum that celebrates the long tradition
of royal patronage of classical music in the city. The magnificent
mementos of a glorious past have been preserved with care, giving
Gwalior an appeal that is indeed unique and timeless. Today, Gwalior
is a cauldron of diverse cultures with a distinct princely aura of
the days gone by.
