Gwalior

Gwalior is situated near Agra. It is famous for its fort with several interesting temples and ruin palaces inside its walls.

The magnificent mementos of a glorious past have been preserved with care, giving Gwalior an appeal unique and timeless. Gwalior also has the distinction of being a centre of Indian classical music.

Tansen's Tomb: A pillar of Hindustani classical music, the great Tansen, one of the 'nine jewels' of Akbar' court lies buried in Gwalior. It is built in the early Mughal architectural style. More than a monument, the tomb is part of Gwalior's living cultural heritage: it is the venue of a national scale music festival, held annually in November-December.
