Madhya Pradesh India Tourism
Can the land of Khajuraho be any less exotic than the famous temples? 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 heart of India. The sight-seer's paradise, with many a beautiful surprise. Temptations, shall we say? Forts, that still echo past glories. Palaces, that still shimmer with grandeur. Love, still in passionate embrace in stone. Forests with wildlife in natural display. Fairs and festivals which are a riot of colour and song. Madhya Pradesh Tourism brings it all to you in its most enticing, enchanting, enthralling best
The natural beauty of the state is equally varied. Consisting largely of a plateau, the state has everything - awesome mountain ranges, meandering rivers, and miles and miles of dense forests. The rich folk culture and tribal traditions of this fascinating state, are manifested in the umpteen exuberant festivities, and Statue of Rani Jhansi, Gwaliorfairs of its colourful people.
One of the best parts about Madhya Pradesh is its accessibility. Bordered by seven states, it is equally close to major tourist destinations in the north, south, east and west. Whether you are in Delhi, Mumbai (Bombay), Chennai (Madras) or Calcutta, you're never very far from Madhya Pradesh.
