Tomb
Sights & Landmarks
Hoshang Shah’s Tomb is a significant part of the 6th-century fort complex in Mandu. The tomb features a marble dome, ornamental tiles, and arches.
Like Golgumbaz in Bijapur this tomb is for Hoshang Shah who was burried here with his wife. The place is well maintained. The attraction is the perfetly aligned three rows of pillars in the hall to the right side of the tomb. The geometrical symmetry is something spectacular. worth visiting once.

One of the Best Islamic architecture in India. I request to ASI team to protect it from chhapris.
Rameej R — Google review
Beutifully carved and well maintained. It's just behind jami masjid and only small steps are provided through jami masjid for this place. So I have to look carefully otherwise I may miss this place. It resembles tajmahal. Architecture is like mixed hindu and Persian type. There are many small tombs inside.
Jayeshbhoomi V — Google review
Hoshang Shah’s Tomb is mainly known as the inspiration for the Taj Mahal, but beyond that there isn’t much to see. We ended up spending more time at the registration counter filling out the form and making the payment than inside the monument itself, where we were the only visitors.
Krunal M — Google review
The tomb of Hoshang Shah in Mandu, built in the 15th century, is widely regarded as the earliest marble mausoleum in India. A notable landmark of Afghan architectural style, it later influenced the design of the Taj Mahal, with Emperor Shah Jahan reportedly sending his architects to examine its structure. The monument stands out for its gleaming white marble, impressive domes, and detailed ornamental work, showcasing a harmonious blend of Afghan and local Hindu architectural traditions.
Aditya G — Google review
A tomb which actually doesn't have any tomb. First structure made in marble, in India
Sandeep S — Google review
Hoshang Shah's tomb is situated in the middle of the courtyard of the majestic mausoleum, surrounded by square-shaped walls. One can enter the mausoleum from the entrance gate, (which is built on a square plan with a marble dome) in the middle of the northern wall. The tomb of Hoshang shah is a grand construction, having a square plan and a dome. It is built on a basement of remarkable width and height. The entire building including the dome is covered in marble, providing majestic atmosphere. It is interesting to note that the main entrance and stairs are situated in the south side, the other side of the entrance to the courtyard. In the four corners of the domed roof, there are constructions with battlements and small domes. They are above the basements, which are built along with a dome. There are plant decorations extending from the edge of the roof and the eaves. They are coloured in red and black, accenting the marble building. Hindu patterns can be observed in the decorations. Considering these and other patterns inside the tomb chamber, we can assume there was involvement of Hindu workmen from the neighbouring towns.

Jal Mahal

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the enchanting landscape of Mandu, Jal Mahal, also known as "The Water Palace," is a stunning testament to Mughal architecture. Constructed by Bahadur Shah Gujarati in 1534 A.D., this unique monument boasts intricate stone carvings and elegant arches that reflect the artistry of its time. The palace is beautifully situated between Kapoor and Munj Sagar Talab, resembling a majestic ship anchored amidst serene waters.
It's construction was done by Bahadur shah is also confirmed by the stone inscription found here on which his name can be clearly seen. Jal Mahal also known as "The Water Palace" was built by Bahadurshah Gujarati in 1534 A.D. Sultan Jahangir stayed here for 6 months during his visit to Mandu. It is situated around Munj Talao and to the south of Shahi Mahal. It encompasses a fountain, elegant arches and marvelous cuttings done on stones which is a good evidence of high end art. It is built using Roman, Afghani and Mughal arts.
Sumana B — Google review
It is among the most unique monuments of India. When you look at the palace, it looks like a beautifully painted picture on Mandav’s canvas. A palace like this cannot be seen anywhere else. Situated between Kapoor and Munj Sagar Talab,it seems like a grand ship anchored in deep seas. On a rainy day, the beauty and artistry here is its prime.This palace is believed to have been built under Ghiyasuddin Khilji in the 15th century for his 15,000 queens. The architecture is apparently inspired by Hindu style.

A small and beautiful building at the far end of the Jahaz Mahal complex. It's possible to get lost on the way to this place, so be careful. Also, beware of the bees.
Ankur P — Google review
Jal mahal is the last monument in the Jahaj Mahal complex. You will need to walk all the way to the end to reach there. It is almost surrounded by the water body, may be that is why its named Jal Mahal. Thought it is not as impressive as the towering Jahaj Mahal, but its a fine piece of architecture.
Divyesh W — Google review
Situated in Mandu, MP, this ruins of a historical building can be found in the same complex as Jahaz mahal.
Debaleena S — Google review
Jal mahal or the water villa/ palace is a short walk from the Jahaz Mahal. One could take the flight of stairs down from Jahaz and walk your way through to Jal mahal. The walkway is apparently run down and needs maintenance. We could see broken stairs, uneven surface and lack of signages to reach the mahal. As we were already exhausted, we did not venture into Jal mahal, but had a glimpse from atop the Jahaz mahal and it was fabulous. Your ticket to Jahaz mahal includes a visit to Jal mahal as well and the place is closed on Mondays.

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Jahaz Mahal, also known as the Ship Palace, is a fascinating architectural wonder located in Mandu, India. Constructed during the 15th century under the rule of Sultan Ghiyas-ud-din Khilji, this palace is renowned for its unique design that gives it the appearance of a floating ship between two artificial lakes. The name "Jahaz Mahal" reflects this distinctive feature.
Built in the 15th century by Sultan Ghiyasuddin Khilji, this palace once housed thousands of royal women, and its layout reflects both privacy and elegance. The fusion of Afghan, Mughal, Hindu, and Mesopotamian styles is breathtaking—from domed chhatris and carved jalis to the intricate water systems that still whisper tales of sustainability and climate-conscious design. ✨ Highlights: - The lotus-shaped pools and stepwell-inspired bathing areas are stunning. - The sound and light show brings history alive—don’t miss it. - Best visited during the Mandu Festival or winter months (Oct–Mar) for a magical experience.

Mandav (Mandu), near Indore Mandav is a beautiful historical village near Indore, filled with monuments from the Raja-Maharaja and Mughal eras. The entire village is dotted with ancient structures, each carrying its own story and charm — you’ll find something interesting almost everywhere you walk. The highlight of Mandav is definitely the Jahaz Mahal, a magnificent palace surrounded by water, giving it the look of a floating ship. Inside, there’s a small museum displaying ancient stone idols of Hindu gods, Mughal artifacts, and even Chinese (Chini) ceramics — all beautifully preserved. The Jahaz Mahal area is especially stunning during the monsoon or winter seasons, when everything is lush green and the water bodies are full. The surroundings — dense forests, hills, and open landscapes — make it a place that’s hard to describe in words. Everyone experiences its beauty differently. There are also many other attractions like the Jama Masjid, tombs from the Mughal period, and several smaller historical spots scattered across the village. If you’re planning a visit, start early around 8–9 AM so you can comfortably explore the entire area by evening. It’s a perfect trip for history lovers, nature enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys peaceful, scenic places. Do not forget to visit Sunset Point — it’s one of the most beautiful sights near Indore. surrounded by greenery, mountains, and forest. Watching the sun go down from there feels truly magical. However, remember to prioritize safety — keep a safe distance from the edges and avoid going into unsafe or restricted forest areas. The terrain can be tricky, so enjoy the view responsibly and make the most of the moment.

Nothing less than fascinating. The palace is in great condition, one can get transported back in time. The best part is superb maintenance of the monument - top notch cleanliness, manicured lawns, trimmed hedges, clean water bodies, beautiful trees, clean facilities. Reasonably priced good food is available in well maintained stalls outside the main gate. Parking is available.

Jahaj Mahal in Mandu is a very beautiful and well maintained site to visit over. Along with old forts and ponds...it has multiple locations to click lovely photos and frame. It is believed to be build for entertainment by the king to have good time in his haram. This is around 60 km from Indore in Mandu town. There are other monuments in town as well. It is maintained by ASI and have a fee of Rs 25 per person.

Mandav or Mandu in MP is a beautiful historic place on a hill top(2000') in between Ujjain(152 km) & Omkareswar(108 km) ruled by King Bhoj of Bhoopal, Baj Bahadur, Hosain Sah, Giasuddin Khalji of Afganisthan & so on. Jahaz Mohol, Hindola Mahal and surrounding lakes were strategically built with thethen splendid architectural pattern which are unique. Rupamati(singer queen of Baj Bahadur) mahal is also praiseworthy.

Such rich history and heritage. This place is underrated, a lot of great things in history come because of Mandu 1. Taj Mahal was inspired by tomb of Hoshang Shah here 2. This place boasts one of the best water management systems in historical buildings, it is literally amazing 3. Got to see steam bath set up from 14th-15th century 4. Has a Swing palace with three types of architecture in the same structure 5. Has a working fountain from that era (Imagine how that would have been done without pressure pumps)

Architectural Buildings
Hindola Mahal, also known as the Swing Palace, is an ancient palace located within the Mandu Fort in Madhya Pradesh. It is part of a royal palace complex that includes Jahaz Mahal, Taveli Mahal, and Nahar Jharokha. The construction of Hindola Mahal is believed to have taken place during the reigns of Hoshang Shah or Ghiyas-ud-din.
If you’re visiting Mandu, Hindola Mahal is a must-see! This historical marvel left me in awe with its stunning architecture and rich history. The unique, swing-like arches (which give the Mahal its name) are truly a sight to behold. It’s peaceful, well-maintained, and offers a glimpse into the grandeur of the past. Great spot for photography and to take in the beauty of Mandu. I highly recommend taking your time here, as the intricate details really deserve attention. A true gem in the heart of the city!

Hindola Mahal is one of the beautiful structure on the madav fort. It's a example for the people who study ancient structures and the people who like ancient structures. From inside it is so beautiful that i recently seen that some big banner bollywood movies like Jara hatke jara backe, who cast Sara ali khan & viky koushal have their song shooting here. Beautiful structure. Thanks 🙏
Raj R — Google review
The Hindola Mahal, or ‘Swinging Palace,’ is a striking architectural jewel within Mandu’s Royal Enclave, dating to the 15th-century Malwa Sultanate. Constructed perhaps under Hoshang Shah, it served as the kingdom's primary royal audience hall, or durbar. ​Its defining feature is the immense, theatrical incline of its buttress walls . Sloping at a dramatic 77-degree angle, these supports create the palace’s characteristic optical illusion of being in perpetual, gentle motion—a masterful feat of engineering. ​The Mahal exemplifies a bold, minimalist Indo-Islamic style, where stark visual impact outweighs excessive ornamentation. The simple T-shaped plan and towering ogee arches demonstrate an elegant fusion of Afghan structural strength and indigenous functional clarity. ​As the epicenter of power, the colossal hall witnessed countless royal ceremonies and major state assemblies. Its imposing structure clearly underscored the authority and prosperity of the Malwa rulers, who called their capital 'The City of Joy' (Shadibad). ​Today, this engineering marvel endures as a vital cultural artifact, narrating a story of medieval ingenuity and regional heritage. Its unique design and dramatic presence continue to inspire awe, securing its place as an indispensable Indian landmark.

It is a must visit. Light show is awesome. I don't think you can buy the ticket beforehand and even if you can, don't buy as there are chances that the show may get cancelled for various reasons.
Bharti M — Google review
Adjoining the famous Jahaj Mahal, Hindola Mahal forms Parrt of the heritage royal buildings complex in Mandu.This historical building has slanting outer walls at an angle of 77° and thus it presumably gives the look of a swing. Frankly I could not visualize it as a swing. That apart, the building looks beautiful. There are other buildings. The surrounding are very well maintained. Adjascent to Hindola Mahal, there are other smaller monuments worth seeing.
Arun G — Google review
Hindola Mahal – meaning Swing palace is so named due to its sloping side walls. The Hindola Mahal might have been constructed during the reign of Hushang Shah about 1425 C.E. but may date to the end of the 15th century during the reign of Ghiyas al-Din. It is one of a set buildings making up the royal palace complex at Mandu, which consists of the Jahaz Mahal, the Hindola Mahal, the Taveli Mahal, and the Nahar Jharokha. The Hindola Mahal may have been used as an audience chamber.The plan of the Hindola Mahal is a T-shape, though examination of the exterior walls leads to the conclusion that the crossbar was added later. The vertical mast of the plan consists of one main hall measuring 30 by 18 metres (98 by 59 feet) and 12 metres (39 feet) high. Its lateral walls are 3 metres (9.8 feet) thick and further reinforced by massive inclined buttresses that angle over 77 degrees. These highly inclined buttresses give the Hindola Mahal (Swinging Palace) its name. They also neutralize the outward force of five massive arches that once supported the large flat roof of the main hall. On each exterior of the long sides of the main hall are six recessed arches which hold doors in their lower sections and three slabs of open-work stone windows to let in air and light. A high wall holds battlements on the roof of the building.

The entire fort complex within the Jahaj Mahal of mandu is steeped in history, it's not only absolutely stunning but also such an experience. Hindola Mahal is undergoing certain upkeep work and that's great, but the place itself is very beautiful, the architecture is to die for and the light and sound show at night is also projected here, such a great experience.
Dr. G — Google review
Hindola Mahal is Artistic, Beautiful Unique Structure ! Hindola Mahal Built by Hushang Shah, probably around A.D. 1425 as a Durbar hall. The walls are inordinately thick and slope like those of a castle. The slope of over 77 degrees gives a swinging appearance to the building, hence the name. The plan is 'T' shaped. The upright stem being the main hall (which was built first), and the cross bar is a transverse portion added later. The structure was probably supposed to have the zenana place as another storey above the main hall, which would explain the bulk and strength of the walls.

Nestled on the banks of the Narmada River, Shri Mamleshwar Jyotirlinga is a captivating destination for those seeking spiritual solace and architectural beauty. This ancient temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, boasts intricately carved statues and mantras that resonate with devotion. Unlike many other Jyotirlingas where darshan can feel distant, here you can experience a close connection with Mahadev himself.
In october both Onkareswar and Mamleswar become less crowded... so easy and time saving for darshan... however on other time you get the sacred goosebumps and vibes of Har har mahadev...

The other temple across the river is the famous Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva in India. While Omkareshwar represents the "Lord of Om", Mamleshwar (Amreshwar) is considered the "Immortal Lord". Both temples together are believed to complete the spiritual essence of the Jyotirlinga, and pilgrims usually visit both to complete their darshan. 🛕 Architecture The Mamleshwar Temple is an excellent example of ancient Nagara-style architecture. Built using sandstone, it features intricate carvings of deities, floral motifs, and mythological scenes. The temple has a massive Shivalinga made of smooth black stone. The peaceful and spiritual ambience is enhanced by the sound of the Narmada flowing nearby. 📜 Mythological Significance According to Hindu mythology, the Jyotirlinga of Omkareshwar appeared when Lord Shiva manifested as a pillar of divine light to prove his supremacy. The region’s name, Omkareshwar, comes from the island shaped like the sacred symbol “ॐ (Om).” It is believed that worshipping both Omkareshwar and Mamleshwar is necessary to receive the full blessings of the Jyotirlinga. 🧘‍♂️ Spiritual Importance Devotees believe that offering prayers at Mamleshwar brings: Peace and prosperity Relief from past karmas Divine blessings of Lord Shiva Visiting Mamleshwar Temple was a truly divine and peaceful experience. The moment I entered the temple complex, I felt a deep sense of calm — as if time had slowed down. The rhythmic sound of temple bells, the fragrance of incense, and the chanting of “Om Namah Shivaya” created a powerful spiritual aura. The temple’s ancient stone carvings and its sacred Shivalinga reflect centuries of devotion. Standing there, near the banks of the holy Narmada River, I could feel the purity of the place — a rare mix of energy and peace together. I offered water and flowers to Lord Shiva, and as the priest performed the aarti, the golden glow of lamps filled the temple with divine light. Watching the Narmada flow quietly beside the temple added a magical charm — it felt like the river herself was blessing every devotee who came there. The experience left me feeling spiritually refreshed and deeply connected — as if Lord Shiva was silently watching over everything.

That place has a certain energy, you know? Totally chill vibes, way more laid back. The air feels cleaner, like you can actually breathe. It's got that quiet hum that just makes you want to sit and soak it all in. Definitely less crowded, which is a huge plus. I could just wander around for hours. So peaceful, it's hard to describe. Om Namah Shivay!!

Shri Mamleshwar Temple

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Nestled on the banks of the Narmada River, Shri Mamleshwar Jyotirlinga is a captivating destination for those seeking spiritual solace and architectural beauty. This ancient temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, boasts intricately carved statues and mantras that resonate with devotion. Unlike many other Jyotirlingas where darshan can feel distant, here you can experience a close connection with Mahadev himself.
In october both Onkareswar and Mamleswar become less crowded... so easy and time saving for darshan... however on other time you get the sacred goosebumps and vibes of Har har mahadev...

ChatGPT You said: Write about mamleshwar ChatGPT said: Sure 🙂 — here’s a clear and informative write-up about Mamleshwar Temple (also called Amreshwar Temple): Mamleshwar Temple (Amreshwar Temple), Omkareshwar Location: Omkareshwar, Madhya Pradesh, India Deity: Lord Shiva Significance: One of the ancient Shiva temples located near the Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga 🌺 Overview Mamleshwar Temple, also known as Amreshwar Temple, is one of the two main temples situated on the banks of the sacred Narmada River at Omkareshwar, Madhya Pradesh. The other temple across the river is the famous Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva in India. While Omkareshwar represents the "Lord of Om", Mamleshwar (Amreshwar) is considered the "Immortal Lord". Both temples together are believed to complete the spiritual essence of the Jyotirlinga, and pilgrims usually visit both to complete their darshan. 🛕 Architecture The Mamleshwar Temple is an excellent example of ancient Nagara-style architecture. Built using sandstone, it features intricate carvings of deities, floral motifs, and mythological scenes. The temple has a massive Shivalinga made of smooth black stone. The peaceful and spiritual ambience is enhanced by the sound of the Narmada flowing nearby. 📜 Mythological Significance According to Hindu mythology, the Jyotirlinga of Omkareshwar appeared when Lord Shiva manifested as a pillar of divine light to prove his supremacy. The region’s name, Omkareshwar, comes from the island shaped like the sacred symbol “ॐ (Om).” It is believed that worshipping both Omkareshwar and Mamleshwar is necessary to receive the full blessings of the Jyotirlinga. 🧘‍♂️ Spiritual Importance Devotees believe that offering prayers at Mamleshwar brings: Peace and prosperity Relief from past karmas Divine blessings of Lord Shiva Visiting Mamleshwar Temple was a truly divine and peaceful experience. The moment I entered the temple complex, I felt a deep sense of calm — as if time had slowed down. The rhythmic sound of temple bells, the fragrance of incense, and the chanting of “Om Namah Shivaya” created a powerful spiritual aura. The temple’s ancient stone carvings and its sacred Shivalinga reflect centuries of devotion. Standing there, near the banks of the holy Narmada River, I could feel the purity of the place — a rare mix of energy and peace together. I offered water and flowers to Lord Shiva, and as the priest performed the aarti, the golden glow of lamps filled the temple with divine light. Watching the Narmada flow quietly beside the temple added a magical charm — it felt like the river herself was blessing every devotee who came there. The experience left me feeling spiritually refreshed and deeply connected — as if Lord Shiva was silently watching over everything.

It is sacred place to visit, it is most of most beautiful place outside a beautiful river narmada river is flowing. Looking amaze before visiting Mamleshwar jyotirlinga first you have to visit Omkareshwar temple then you follow the mamleshwar temple. It can take around 1+ hour in waiting. Better to carry water bottle with you in both the jyotirlinga darshan. Take a holy dip in Narmada river and have Darshan of both Jyotirlinga temple. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Amazing place for a short picnic. Few food stalls available but beware of monkeys. Amazing view points. Water flow was high in October 2025. I reached Mhow Railway and took a to and fro auto for 500 Rs. Do bargain. However if you have own vehicle its much easier.

It is a very picturesque spot, especially in monsoon when the water gushes down the 200-foot deep gorge. The view is very scenic when the sun sets. A good place for a nice trekking or camping activity also. People should rake efforts to keep the area clean. Beware of monkeys as they can be troublesome sometimes. Adequate parking space is available. It is also a historical spot to commemorate the heroics of Tantya Bheel against the British.

It's a beautiful place, lack of maintenance. Full of trash and junk. And I understand some people trying to make money out of visitors, with photographers set up and occupied all the spot and chats Dukan. They make the place miserable loud , noisy and dirty. If you wanna enjoy the beauty of this place you have to walk further, not from the actual view spot.

Lal Bagh Palace

Mentioned on 
+81 other lists 
Historical place museum
Sights & Landmarks
Lal Bagh Palace, a lavish 19th-century mansion of the Holkar dynasty, showcases a blend of baroque, rococo, and neoclassical architectural styles. This three-story palace has been transformed into a grand museum featuring Italian and Indian paintings, exquisite chandeliers, and furnishings reflecting early Georgian and late Persian designs. Spanning across 28 hectares of land, it stands as a testament to the opulence and culture of the Maratha kingdom.
Very great palace to know about the Holkars dynasty. The architecture was mix of European and Indian mix. The interiors are very posh and royal, however there were renovations going on in the palace. Once it is complete, I am sure it would be a must visit place in Indore. The entry ticket for adults is Rs. 50 and for kids it is free entry. Ample parking space and good greenery around the palace.
Vishnu C — Google review
My experience was quite good, but to get there you first need to bargain with the auto drivers. They will ask for ₹100, but you should only give them ₹20. They will tell you that the gate charges parking fees, but in reality, the parking is only ₹10. The place is not very far from the gate, so you can also go by walking. As for inside, you won’t find drinking water there, so it’s better to carry your own water bottle. The entry ticket is just ₹20. There isn’t much special inside the palace. However, it’s a nice place for couples—it’s peaceful, surrounded by forest, and you can sit quietly and talk. But if you are going with your family, then you won’t really find it that enjoyable.
RAVI K — Google review
Lal Bagh Palace is one of the most fascinating heritage gems in Indore, and my visit here was an unexpectedly rich experience. The moment you step inside the massive iron gates, imported from London and said to be inspired by those of Buckingham Palace, you instantly feel the grandeur of the Holkar era. The palace was built in phases between 1886 and 1921 by the Holkar rulers, mainly by Tukoji Rao Holkar II and III, and it served as one of their important residences. Knowing that you are walking through the same corridors where the Holkar royal family lived makes the visit even more special. The interiors are the real showstopper. The palace has a strong European architectural influence, especially Italian and French styles. The grand ballroom, with its large Belgian mirrors and ornate decorations, is absolutely breathtaking. One interesting fact I loved learning about is that the ballroom’s floor was designed with springs inside so that it would vibrate with the rhythm of the music during royal dances something truly ahead of its time. Another surprising feature is the European-style elevator, which was installed more than a century ago! Seeing such engineering in a palace of that era is genuinely impressive. The walls, furniture, chandeliers, and artwork, all reflect the luxurious lifestyle of the Holkars. Every room seems to preserve a piece of history. The palace also sits on a beautiful 28-acre estate, and although some areas outside could use better maintenance, the overall charm is still intact. The museum section displays old photographs, royal artifacts, weapons, and personal belongings that give insight into the Holkar dynasty’s cultural legacy. What I personally found most interesting is that Lal Bagh Palace used to host major diplomatic and royal gathering, it wasn’t just a residence but a symbol of Indore’s power, culture, and openness to global influences.
Hemendra D — Google review
This is a grand palace with a lot of European architectural influence. But it has its own pros and cons. Pros: Beautiful architecture and high ceilings (I really like buildings with high ceilings). Massive garden area in the premises. And since Indore doesn’t have a lot to offer, you can visit this to pass time. Cons: It’s under renovation for restoration work. Most of the palace is inaccessible. There is not much to see with what is accessible. If you have visited a lot of museums and palaces, you won’t enjoy it at all. Ticket price is only Rs 20 pp.
A K — Google review
I am disappointed and feeling cheated. The Lalbagh Palace is under renovation but they didn't tell me this before I bought the high priced ticket (400) for foreigners. Only a few ground floor rooms are accessible, other ones are closed. The garden is poorly maintained and littered, the toilet is broken and dirty. When I asked why the renovation wasn't mentioned, they said it is written. Yes, in Hindi. Why they couldn't write that two words: "Under renovation" in English? Waste of money and time. This high entry fees for foreigners, the constant discrimination, will not develop the international tourism.
Eva M — Google review
Lalbagh Palace at Indore was built by the Holkar Dynasty. The Holkars resided in the palace up to 1978. After the demise of Tukojirao Holkar(III), his granddaughter Usha Raje set up a trust to look after the estate. Later, it was brought under the control of State Government. It is a lovely palace to visit and has some beautifully decorated rooms which are very similar in architecture to what you see in Windsor palace. So whenever you are planning a trip to Indore, do visit this iconic Palace, and fall in love with its wonderful architecture. Owing to its real royal feel, Lal Bagh Palace has remained one of the favourite Bollywood shooting location. Many movies like Kalank, Singh Saab the Great and Mahal (Tamil Movie) have been shot in the palace. Date visited : 22.10.2025

I recently got a chance to revisit Kaanch Mandir on the auspicious occasion of Dhoop Dashmi, and it was an absolutely divine experience. The temple, made entirely of glass and mirrors, looks stunning on any day but on Dhoop Dashmi, with beautifully crafted Mandal Ji, its beauty and spiritual glow were truly beyond words. The temple is located in the main market area, so I’d recommend visiting by public transport or two-wheeler for convenience, as parking space is limited. If you’re in Indore, this sacred place is a must-visit - the artistry here is truly a masterpiece. – Muskan 🙏

Echoes of Time — Rajwada, Indore By Musafir Nama (@Rana’s Photography) Indore wasn’t just another stop on my official trip — it turned into a walk through history. Before heading back to Delhi, my curiosity led me to the heart of the city — Rajwada Palace, a place where every arch and corridor whispers stories of the Holkar dynasty. As I stepped inside, the air felt different — heavy with heritage, yet peaceful. The long corridors echoed with the footsteps of the past. The stone arches stood tall, as if still guarding the royal memories etched in them. Each turn revealed symmetry, strength, and silence — a reminder of India’s architectural brilliance. Descending the narrow stone staircase felt like entering another era — dimly lit, mysterious, timeless. And when I finally stood in the courtyard, looking at the magnificent façade, I could almost imagine the royal gatherings that once filled this space with life and laughter. Travel isn’t always about distance — sometimes it’s about depth. Rajwada reminded me how every city has a soul, waiting to be heard. 📍 Rajwada Palace, Indore 🎥 Captured on an unplanned detour 📸 @Rana’s Photography ✨ Keep wandering. Keep feeling. — #MusafirNama

Walking around Rajwada feels like exploring a living museum—every pillar, balcony, and arch narrates a story of Indore’s glorious past. The surrounding market adds a lively charm, blending the old and the new in the most perfect way. The evening lighting makes the entire palace glow beautifully, giving it a royal and magical vibe. The nearby garden area and the recently renovated interiors are pleasant spots to relax and take pictures.

Rajwada Palace, Indore – A Grand Portal to the Rich Legacy of the Holkars Visiting Rajwada Palace in Indore is like stepping back in time to an era of royalty, artistry, and cultural grandeur. Built by the Holkar dynasty around 1747 AD under Malhar Rao Holkar, the palace stands as one of Indore’s most iconic landmarks. 🏛️ Architecture & Design The palace is a magnificent seven-storied structure — the lower three floors made of stone and the upper floors crafted in wood. This blend of materials gives it a unique charm while showcasing traditional Maratha, Mughal, and French architectural influences. The grand arched gateway, beautifully carved balconies, jharokhas, and large wooden doors add to its royal aura. 🔥 History & Restoration Rajwada has witnessed multiple fires over centuries, the most severe during the 1984 riots, which damaged many wooden sections. It was lovingly restored in the 2000s under Maharani Usha Devi Holkar, staying true to the original style using traditional materials. The gardens, fountains, and statues of Maharani Ahilya Bai Holkar now make the palace surroundings even more inviting. 👀 What to See & Do Inside, the small museum displays royal artefacts, weapons, paintings, and heritage items from the Holkar era. The Darbar Hall and Ganesha Hall sometimes host cultural programs and exhibitions.

Jai Mata Di. Kaila Devi temple is a major Piligrimage site and tourist attraction in Dewas city. During the time of both Navaratris various activities like Bhagwat Ji and Kathas were organised by the trust run by the temple association. Once upon a time a great fair was organised here but after sometime that was stopped. Jyortirlinga Mahadev temple, Maa Vaishno Devi Cave, Maa Durga Statue (41 feet), Shri Hanuman Ji Statue (51 feet), and Maa Kaila Devi temple are the major attraction of this place.

The Shree Harsiddhi Shaktipith Temple, located in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, is one of the 51 sacred Shaktipithas of Goddess Shakti and a major pilgrimage center for devotees of the Divine Mother. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Harsiddhi Mata, a powerful form of Goddess Parvati, and holds deep spiritual importance in Hinduism, symbolizing divine energy, victory, and protection. According to ancient legend, the temple’s origins trace back to the Shakti Peetha myth from the Devi Bhagavata Purana. When Sati, the consort of Lord Shiva, immolated herself at her father Daksha’s yagna, an enraged Shiva carried her body and performed the Tandava, the dance of destruction. To pacify him, Lord Vishnu released his Sudarshan Chakra, cutting Sati’s body into 51 pieces, which fell across various parts of India — each spot becoming a sacred Shakti Peetha. It is believed that Sati’s elbow (or upper arm) fell at Ujjain, sanctifying the site as the Harsiddhi Shaktipith. In this temple, Goddess Harsiddhi is worshipped along with Mahakali and Mahalakshmi, symbolizing strength, wealth, and wisdom — the three essential powers of the Goddess. The main deity, Harsiddhi Mata, is depicted in a dark vermilion-colored idol, signifying her fierce and protective nature. The Harsiddhi Temple also holds a strong association with Lord Shiva. According to another legend, when Lord Shiva was destroying demons, he sought help from Goddess Parvati. She appeared as Harsiddhi Mata and helped him defeat the powerful demon brothers Chanda and Munda, earning the name “Harsiddhi” — meaning “the one who grants all siddhis (powers) and success.” Hence, this temple stands as a symbol of divine victory and protection. The temple’s architecture reflects Maratha influence, with the current structure believed to have been renovated during the reign of Maratha ruler Ranoji Shinde in the 18th century. Two majestic deep stambhs (lamp towers) stand at the temple’s entrance, beautifully lit with hundreds of lamps during Navratri, creating a mesmerizing sight. Harsiddhi Mata is considered the Kuldevi (family goddess) of the Scindia royal family, who contributed to the temple’s maintenance and grandeur. The temple is also closely connected to the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, located nearby, forming part of the sacred spiritual circuit of Ujjain. Today, the Shree Harsiddhi Shaktipith Temple continues to be a center of immense devotion, where thousands of devotees visit daily to seek the Goddess’s blessings for strength, prosperity, and victory over life’s challenges. Temple Timings: • Morning: 5:00 AM – 12:00 PM • Evening: 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Witnessed the traditional lighting of oil lamps at Shree Harsiddhi Mata Temple in Ujjain. At the entrance of the temple are two large lamp towers with hundreds of lamps. At around 6:30 pm every evening these lamps are lit by temple staff. They climb up the oily lamp tower and all these lamps are lit within around 3 minutes. Must be some sort of a record. The place is next to Ujjain Mahakaal temple and gets crowded around 30 minutes before the start of the event, as it is very popular among tourist who visit Ujain. Around 1 minute 20 seconds into the video, you will notice how fast the staff is lighting up the oil lamps. Remember the temple itself is many centuries old and its history is linked to Emperor Vikramaditya. The oil tower is itself slippery because of all the oil.

The ancient cave structure stands as a testament to the lives of people in the past, before the development of modern construction technologies.

There is a temple of Goddess Kali near a village called Gadh, 5 kilometers away from Ujjain. It is known as Gadh Kalika. It is considered one of the 51 Shaktipeeths. Here, the lips of Goddess Sati fell. The great poet Shri Kalidasa successfully attained his scholarly skills through true devotion to Goddess Kalika. Later, Kalidasa composed some of the best works of Sanskrit literature like Meghdoot, Abhigyannasakuntalam, Raghuvansham and Shakuntala. The temple has a high status of Lord Ganesha. The temple of Shri Sthiraman Ganeshaji is located next to the Gadh Kalika temple. There is also a cowshed here. The idols of famous gods and goddesses are installed in the temple. This temple was rebuilt by King Harshavardhana in the 7th century.

Nestled in the heart of Ujjain, the Shri Kaal Bhairav Temple stands as a vibrant testament to Hindu devotion and culture. This sacred site is dedicated to Lord Kaal Bhairav, a fierce manifestation of Lord Shiva and revered as the city's guardian deity. A unique aspect of this temple is its ritualistic offering of liquor, symbolizing devotees' surrendering of their vices to the divine.
Kaal Bhairav Mandir, Ujjain – A powerful and unique temple where devotees offer liquor to Lord Kaal Bhairav. The atmosphere is deeply spiritual and energetic. It can get crowded, especially on weekends and festivals, and cleanliness around the temple could be better. Still, it’s a must-visit for its rare traditions and divine experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆

The temple is dedicated to Lord Kal Bhairav, the fierce form of Lord Shiva, and the atmosphere here is filled with devotion and reverence. I was amazed to see the rituals, the offerings, and the deep faith of devotees. Despite the crowd, everything was well-organized, and the local priests were kind enough to explain the significance of the traditions. There’s a strong vibration of protection and strength in this place it’s unlike any other temple I’ve visited. I left feeling spiritually charged and peaceful at the same time. If you’re visiting Ujjain, don’t miss this temple. It’s a must-visit for anyone who wants to experience the divine power and mystery of Lord Kal Bhairav. 🙏 Jai Kal Bhairav 🙏

Visiting Shree Kal Bhairav Temple was one of the most powerful and unforgettable spiritual experiences of my life. The temple, dedicated to **Lord Kal Bhairav**, a fierce manifestation of Lord Shiva, holds immense religious significance and deep mystical energy. As soon as I entered the temple premises, I could feel a strong sense of devotion and divine presence. The rhythmic chants of “Jai Kal Bhairav” and the fragrance of incense created an atmosphere filled with energy and peace. The main idol of Lord Kal Bhairav, decorated with flowers and sacred offerings, looked truly divine and awe-inspiring. One of the unique aspects of this temple is the tradition of offering **liquor** to Lord Kal Bhairav as *prasadam*. It’s said that the liquor disappears mysteriously when offered to the deity — a sight that fills devotees with wonder and faith. Witnessing this ritual was a fascinating experience that reflected the temple’s deep spiritual heritage. The priests and devotees were very humble and welcoming. Despite the temple being crowded, the atmosphere remained calm and devotional. I spent some time sitting quietly, feeling the powerful vibrations of the place. It gave me a sense of inner strength and peace, as if Lord Kal Bhairav himself was watching over and protecting me. Overall, my visit to Shree Kal Bhairav Temple was truly divine a perfect blend of mystery, faith, and spirituality. It’s not just a temple; it’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

Spiritual place, Kal Bhairavnath Temple Kal Bhairavnath Temple is a truly spiritual place where one can feel instant peace and positivity. Sukh, shanti, and divine energy – everything is here. The atmosphere is calm, the surroundings are clean, and the vibrations are very powerful for those who come with faith and devotion. Darshan can take time, especially on weekends. On Saturday and Sunday, the waiting time can easily go up to around 2 hours due to the heavy crowd. However, the experience of finally getting Darshan of Kal Bhairavnath feels absolutely worth the wait. If possible, try to visit on weekdays or during non-peak hours to get a more relaxed and peaceful Darshan without too much rush. Overall, a must-visit temple for anyone seeking inner peace, blessings, and a strong spiritual connectio

I just went to the Kal Bhairav Temple. The Kal Bhairav Temple is one of Ujjain's most powerful and mystical temples, dedicated to Lord Kal Bhairav, the fierce form of Lord Shiva. The atmosphere here is deeply spiritual and energetic. The temple is especially famous for its unique offering – liquor – which devotees traditionally offer to the deity. The temple's architecture is simple yet ancient, and you can see glimpses of history in every stone. The priests perform the rituals with great devotion, and despite the heavy crowds (especially on weekends and Mahashivratri), here Come in the morning or evening for a peaceful darshan. The darshan experience is very satisfying. The surroundings are well-maintained, although parking can be a bit difficult during rush hours. The local market outside sells religious items, prasad, and souvenirs.

The Shri Kala Bhairav Mandir in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, is one of the most mysterious and powerful temples in India, dedicated to Lord Kala Bhairav, a fierce manifestation of Lord Shiva. One of the most unique and intriguing aspects of this temple is the offering of liquor (Madira) to Lord Kala Bhairav. Devotees offer liquor directly to the deity, and astonishingly, it is believed that the idol “drinks” it — the liquid seemingly disappears when poured on its lips. This practice has been followed for centuries and continues to be a divine mystery that draws thousands of curious pilgrims and researchers alike. The temple holds immense religious and tantric significance and is considered a guardian shrine of Ujjain, one of the seven sacred cities (Sapta Puri) in Hinduism. According to ancient scriptures like the Shiva Purana and Avanti Khanda of Skanda Purana, Lord Shiva created Kala Bhairav to destroy ego and punish wrongdoers. When Lord Brahma grew arrogant, Shiva manifested as Bhairava and cut off one of Brahma’s five heads, symbolizing the destruction of pride. Since then, Bhairava has been worshipped as the Kshetrapal (protector) of Ujjain. Every temple in Ujjain is traditionally believed to be under the protection of one of the eight Bhairavas, with Kala Bhairav being the chief among them. The temple’s origins trace back to the Paramara dynasty, around the 8th century CE, and it is believed to have been built by King Bhadresen. Though the original temple has faced destruction and renovations over time, the present structure stands as a blend of Maratha and medieval architecture. The current temple was significantly renovated during the 18th century under Maratha rule, especially by the Scindias, who were ardent devotees of Lord Bhairav. One of the most unique and intriguing aspects of this temple is the offering of liquor (Madira) to Lord Kala Bhairav. Devotees offer liquor directly to the deity, and astonishingly, it is believed that the idol “drinks” it — the liquid seemingly disappears when poured on its lips. This practice has been followed for centuries and continues to be a divine mystery that draws thousands of curious pilgrims and researchers alike. The temple’s idol, carved from a single stone, displays a fearsome expression symbolizing the Lord’s power to destroy evil and grant protection. Despite his fierce form, devotees worship him with deep devotion, seeking his blessings for courage, justice, and the removal of negativity. The Shri Kala Bhairav Mandir comes alive during Kala Bhairav Ashtami, when thousands of devotees gather for special rituals and offerings. The temple remains a profound center of faith and mysticism, symbolizing Lord Shiva’s aspect as the eternal guardian of time and righteousness. Temple Timings: • Morning: 5:00 AM – 12:00 PM • Evening: 4:00 PM – 9:30 PM

Shri Kal Bhairav Mandir in Ujjain is a deeply spiritual and powerful place, known for its unique rituals and divine energy. The temple has an intense aura that immediately captures your attention, especially with the offering of liquor to Lord Bhairav — a tradition found nowhere else. The atmosphere is both mystical and devotional, and the architecture reflects ancient craftsmanship. However, the temple can get quite crowded, and cleanliness around the premises could be improved. Overall, it’s a must-visit for those seeking a spiritual experience with a touch of mystery.

Sandipani Ashram is one of the most sacred places in Ujjain, known as the Gurukul (ancient school) of Guru Sandipani, where Lord Shri Krishna, his brother Balarama, and his friend Sudama received their education. According to ancient scriptures, Lord Krishna studied all 14 vidyas and 64 kalaas (arts) here in just 64 days under the guidance of Guru Sandipani. These are engrafted(paintings on wall) Also with Mahabharat detail near Gomti kund.

This is the only place that is still considered as the living Gurukul of Lord Krishna. Situated around 2–3 km from Mahakaleshwar Temple, near the banks of River Shipra.Easily accessible by auto or taxi.

Sandipani Ashram in Ujjain is one of the most spiritually enriching and historically significant places in the city. This sacred site holds immense importance as it is believed to be the gurukul where Lord Krishna, along with Balram and Sudama, received their education under the guidance of Guru Sandipani. Visiting this ashram feels like stepping back in time — into the divine atmosphere of ancient learning, devotion, and discipline. The ashram is beautifully maintained, surrounded by calm greenery and peaceful vibes that instantly soothe the mind. The main attractions include the ancient Gomti Kund, a sacred water tank said to have been filled by Lord Krishna with waters from all the holy rivers, and the serene temple dedicated to Guru Sandipani. The idols of Krishna, Balram, and Sudama inside the temple are simple yet radiate immense positivity. The premises are neat and well-organized, offering ample space for visitors to sit, meditate, or simply soak in the tranquility. The guides and caretakers are very polite and share interesting stories from Krishna’s childhood and his learning days here. The ashram also conducts regular spiritual activities and discourses, making it a great place for devotees and history enthusiasts alike. It’s a must-visit destination for anyone visiting Ujjain — not just for its mythological significance but also for its peaceful ambiance and divine energy. ⭐ Rating: 5/5 📍 Location: Near Mangalnath Mandir, Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh 🕒 Timings: 6:00 AM – 8:00 PM ✅ Must Visit: Gomti Kund, Guru Sandipani Mandir, Meditation Area

If your want Puja for Mangal Dosh, it's done here only on Tuesday. On the first floor, the puja and havan is done and offering is done on Second floor. You can simply visit the temple and pay your visit. But for puja, one needs to have a receipt made. Don't search for Mangalnath Mandir on Google. It will direct to you to some different place if you are looking for Mangal Dosh puja.

I visited this mandir on 23rd of june. At that time there is renovation work is going on. I visited this place while i was going to mahakaleshwar jyotirlinga. As per pundit this is the centre of India and this is the birth place of Mangal dev who is also known as mangla garah or mars planet. Mangal dosh can be removed by worshipping here. From main gat to front of the mandir is clean, but when you came from other side to front there is rocks and palette which can poke or hurt your foot. In mandir ther is 4 or 5 place of worship or say pundits are sitting, in which shiva linga, Mangal bhagwan, Hanuman bhagwan etc. Can be worshipped and on all places there is pandit who is mantra chanting while you go there. Outside it there is shops of parshad and flowers and other things. They have settings with auto drivers and auto drivers took you to them as they got there commissions for it. And they are selling things in basket set and they are not giving you one or 2 thing by saying no in this mandir all these things required. Aside of it there is river.

It's a very good place to get blessings and make sure to visit nearby places like.. Sandipani Ashram and vishnu sagar. Temple management and Ujjain development authority should focus on cleaning the water which is getting bad day by day as cleaning process is not to be seen but people are dumping pooja leftovers there..

Initially I don't believe in traditional rituals, but later in life I realize the importance of such things. I got to know about this website during a google-search. It is a very informative website. Later, we contacted Pandit Vijay Bharti Ji, to discuss about the Kundli matching and Mangal Dosh Shanti Pujan. He also performed the Puja for us, and now we realize the effects of such pooja. Our life seems more shorted after that puja. Thus, to all non-believers, I would like to suggest that try our traditional rituals once from the right person, and see the difference by yourself.

"You believe, or can't believe, it doesn't matter. You will have to go through it." That was the exact words of my father. And, now I am admitting that he was right. By birth chart I am Mangalik. However, like many others of my generation, I did not believe in tantra mantra. However, now I am a believer. Moreover, after the Pooja process, I realized many changes. I know, I sound stupid. But, after going through many experiences, I am writing my opinion. May be, my experience will help you to convince your son or daughter of my age or younger...

Sankhya Sagar, also written as Sakhya Sagar, is a lake in Shivpuri & also a Ramsar site. It is an artificial lake as it was created on River Manier in 1918. The Sagar is spread across a huge area & maintains the ecological balance of the Madhav National Park. It has a mix of marsh & riverine fishes as well as marsh crocodiles. One side of the lake is a hill. It looks lovely specially when it reflects the changing sky colors. Though, its few parts were layered with invasive water hyacinth. Given how critical it is to the overall biodiversity of the area, the authorities must look into this.

A major tourist attraction in Shivpuri is the Sakhya Sagar Lake which borders the forests of the Madhav National Park. The vast expanse of water is surely a treat to watch and its calm and tranquil surroundings have a very soothing effect on the mind. A large number of reptiles, marsh crocodiles, Indian Pythons and Monitor Lizards are to be found in the Sakhya Sagar Lake. The lake looks stunningly beautiful at dusk when it reflects the changing colors of the sky. There is a boat club on the shores of the lake. The boat club is a very delicate structure and has glass panels. The boat club is connected to the Sakhya Sagar Lake by a broad pier. If you stand on the deck you are sure to be overwhelmed by the beauty of the scene in front of your eyes. The vast stretch of water and beyond it the Vindhyachal hills with their dense forest cover looks absolutely stunning

Survaya ki Garhi (Archaeological Site) 10th century

Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
Survaya ki Garhi is an obscure archaeological site dating back to the 10th century. It boasts a fort with ancient stone temples adorned with intricate carvings, as well as a monastery and courtyard. The campus has been well-preserved, featuring impressive landscaping and walls spanning a large area. Located near Shivpuri and Scindia Chatri, this hidden gem is worth visiting despite lacking available guides on-site.
It is a wonderful experience to visit Survaya Gadhi of the 10th century. It is well maintained to the level best ASI. The stone carving and detailing is awesome. We were on our way to Prayagraj for Maha Kumbh, very close to the highway and short of time to explore.
Milind K — Google review
This historical fort lies in an excellent condition, thanks to the ASI. However the surrounding area is encroached upon by the villagers because of which the last 100 meters section of the road is filled with cow dung and mud. There's a small parking space. The whole fort was empty when we visited. The monument has been renovated and restored by ASI. The pathways are properly marked and the site was clean as well. There are few temples in ruined state along with a Hindu monastery. You can visit this when traveling from Shivpuri to Jhansi.
Deepak S — Google review
Surwaya Ki Garhi in Shivpuri is an underrated treasure for history enthusiasts and travelers looking to explore Madhya Pradesh's cultural heritage. The architectural beauty of the ancient fort, combined with the serene surroundings, creates a unique experience. The carvings and remnants of the structure give a glimpse into the rich history and craftsmanship of the bygone era. Though the place might not be as popular as other forts in the region, its raw and untouched beauty makes it a must-visit for those who love offbeat destinations. However, the site could benefit from better maintenance and facilities for tourists. Proper signage and historical information boards would add a lot to the experience. If you are in Shivpuri, don't miss the chance to explore this hidden gem. It's a perfect blend of history, architecture, and tranquility!

Located off the Shivpuri – Jhansi Road is the Survaya ki Garhi. It is an ancient fortress which housed a Hindu monastery in the olden days. We visited on a Monday morning; the ruins were empty of crowds then. After parking our car, we entered via a circuitous route through stone walls. This was followed by a path in between two gardens and having a board that talked about the Garhi. The monastery & the temples were built first. The monastery also had an ‘overall auspiciousness’ temple on its roof. The fortress was built later, in the 11th-12th century, presumably to protect the monastery & the temples. As per the inscriptions, the monastery was linked to the Shaiva sect. it was originally a two – storeyed building though the upper storey now survives only partially. The Scindias renovated it when they ruled over these parts. The whole premises are built out of stone. While there is no ticket, you do have to make entries into a register. The temples are three in number. Though all of them have lost their ‘shikhar’ now, they are still sights to behold. The most prominent one was the Shiva Temple. This ancient Temple is lovely with its carvings worth seeing. In front of it, broken pieces that were excavated, but which could not be put together, are displayed on the ground, giving the viewer a sense of what architecture existed then. To the right of the Shiva Temple are a stepwell & an elevated platform. Bougainvillea plants, with their gay flowers, completed the picture perfectness of the Garhi. We then explored the monastery, climbing also onto its first floor. The stairs are narrow & steep; so, caution has to be exercised. The first floor gave a stupefying view of the premises. The ground floor had small, dark rooms around a sunlit courtyard. The Survaya ki Garhi does need proper roads leading up to it. A cleanliness drive is required too as the penultimate areas are splashed with cow dung. Even though it’s maintained by the ASI, it can be really puckered up to attract more sightseers, like having guides or more inscriptions.

Must visit for the people who love ancient indian architecture. These masterpieces of ancient Indian art & architecture that lie unexplored by most of the tourists and locals of the city.

It's a Fort with very old Stone Carved Temples inside. The stone carvings on the temple is very intricate and mesmerising. The whole campus takes you back in time. Very good landscaped area outside. It also houses a Monastery inside with a lovely courtyard. This is not a hill Fort hence the wall of the Fort is very well made and spread in a large area. This is very close to Shivpuri and Scindia Chatri. Worth a visit. No guides available here but the history of the Fort and Temples is mentioned on the name plate outside the main gate.

A total of 77 jain temples are there on the mountain. Many Dharmshala's to stay beneath the hill and around 28 temples in each dharmshala's. Very calm and mesmerizing place. Recommend to visit this place in the monsoon or winter time. Because of too much hotness after walking on the hill towards each temple.

One of the most beautiful Jain temples. This is a fantastic site to visit, especially during the monsoon season with so many peacocks and bird melodies, the environment is calm and peaceful. This is a holy and peaceful place. A wonderful location where every single thing is holy. Lord Chandraprabhu is the most notable person associated with this location. This is a must-see location, as the air is quite relaxing. One of Jain's most popular pilgrimages.
