 MADHYA
PRADESH (Central India), located in the heart of India is the largest state
in the country, sprawling over 4,43,000 km. It has one third of India's forests
and hence numerous natural parks and sanctuaries, including Kanha and Bandhavgarh.
Geographically it is a land of contrasts, with river valleys, dense forests
and rolling plains overlooked by the ancient hills of the Vindhya and Satpura
ranges and the sprawling highlands of the Malwa plateau. The region offers an
exciting contrast of destinations from superb fort in Gwalior which saw many
fierce battles to the legends of love in the city of joy - Mandu; an awesome
spectacle of nature - marble rocks in Jabalpur to tradition of faith - the legendary
cities of Ujjain and Buddhist site at Sanchi. The states also proudly possess
almost intriguing, the spectacular temples at Khajuraho known world over for
their sheer beauty and masterpiece of art work on stone and erotic figures running
through a whole Kamasutra.
Madhya Pradesh is a vast plateaux surrounded by the vindhya and satpura mountains,
that rise from 600 to 1,300 m and make a rugged descent into the valleys of
Narmada and Rapti rivers. The eastern plateu is poor in agriculture but heavily
forested. In the northeast lies the depression of Chattisgarh where the west,
the Malwa region is rich in wheat and cotton, cotton that brought fame to the
cities of Ujjain, Gwalior and Indore. The state is also rich in teak, rosewood,
ebony and saal forest where tiger, bison, deer and panther roam, a wildlife
protected at the sanctuaries of Kanha and Bandhavgarh. The Narmada and Rapti
Valleys have long served as a passageway connecting east and west India.
