Madhya Pradesh - The Heart of India

Called the ‘heart of India,’ not just on account of its location, Madhya Pradesh, or MP, is home to the cultural heritage of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Islam. Exquisitely carved temples, stupas, forts and palaces are some of the sights on display for the visitor. Spectacular mountains, meandering rivers and miles and miles of dense forest are some more.

Once the largest state in the country, in MP, size does matter; be it Asia’s biggest tiger reserve or the world’s largest chandeliers or the greatest collection of Neolithic rock shelters. At the renowned, 10th century Khajuraho temples, the superb stone carvings portray every facet and mood of life, from the commonplace to the sublime, from the erotic to the divine. With 31 sanctuaries in all, the state offers a panorama of wildlife from tigers to bisons and deer to antelopes.
