About Gwalior (The Pearl in the Necklace of Indian Fortresses)

Gwalior is a historic city of chivalry, music, and royal splendour in northern Madhya Pradesh. Described by Mughal Emperor Babur as 'the pearl in the necklace of the forts of Hind', the colossal 8th-century sandstone Gwalior Fort crowns an isolated 300-foot rocky plateau. Celebrated as the birthplace of legendary musical genius Tansen (one of Akbar's Navratnas) and seat of the Scindia dynasty, Gwalior enchants with Italian-marble royal palaces, colossal rock-cut Jain statues, and classical music traditions.
