Motimahal-Heritage Building of Scindia Dynasty
#OverseasTravel
Do you think India is all about the Taj Mahal? Absolutely not 🙂
About three hours by train from Delhi, Gwalior is the former capital of a royal dynasty.
It's a city with so many historical buildings that it deserves to be called a royal city, offering plenty to see.
The forts and palaces are the highlights, but there's more.
There are many fascinating sites throughout the city, and even a leisurely stroll through the city is enough to make for an impressive experience.
⸻
📍 Tansen Tomb
The tomb of Tansen, one of India's most famous musicians.
While not far from the city center, it's not within walking distance, so it's convenient to take a car or rickshaw.
The space is impressive with intricate stone carvings and arched windows. While not ornate, it exudes a serene and calming atmosphere.
There are two tombs here.
The larger and more magnificent building is the tomb of Tansen's teacher, Muhammad, and the smaller tomb next to it is Tansen's tomb. The sight of the Master's body enshrined next to him is even more impressive.
⸻
📍 Moti Mahal Gate
The gate, with its striking red-toned arches, is a sight to behold.
It's a photogenic spot, and you won't want to miss it.
After passing through the gate, you'll encounter
📍 Moti Mahal
This heritage building was built in the 18th century.
While interior viewing is currently restricted, the beautiful exterior and gardens make it well worth a visit. A camera-worthy spot 📸
⸻
🌅 Baija Taal
A lake near Moti Mahal.
You can enjoy boating or a stroll here.
In the evening, food trucks open up, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
⸻
Gwalior is a city you won't want to leave without seeing just the forts and palaces.
Just strolling through the remaining buildings throughout the city offers its own charm.
If you're thinking of visiting India solely for the Taj Mahal,
consider Gwalior as well! ✨
