About Madhya Pradesh

Madhya Pradesh is the India’s largest state and is located in the center of the country. It is also famous for the fact that nature over here is at its lavish best. This land is a plateau with Satpura and Vindhya Ranges which give a welcoming break to the otherwise flat terrain. The Sone, Chambal, Mahanadi, Indravati and Betwa running from west to east and The Tapti and Narmada Rivers flowing from east to west, arise from these mountains.

Madhya Pradesh is also blessed with a rich history since it was a home to Tansen, the jewel musician of Akbar’s court and Kalidas, the great Sanskrit poet. This place also has national parks like Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Shivpuri etc which house a large population of animals especially tigers. Also, the remains of historical monuments belonging to rulers such as the Sungas, Ashoka, Vikramaditya, Chandragupta, Raja Bhoj, Harsha, The Delhi Sultans, The Chandelas and the Mughal, can be found in the state.
