BHOPAL: LEGACY OF BEGUMS

Travel Desk

Popular as the city of lakes, Bhopal is the capital city of Madhya Pradesh. Nestled amidst seven hills and on the banks of two lakes, the city is thriving with the legacy of its Mughal rulers and is blessed with ample pulchritude. The city is a perfect blend of rich art forms, culture and traditions. Found by King Bhoj in 11th century AD, Bhopal was reined successively by four generations of Begums (Queens). The city yields a profuse cultural and traditional hub for visitors from around the Globe.

 

The splendid museums, art galleries, lakes, historical monuments, magnificent architecture take you to an era of grandeur and affluence. Therefore we have mustered a gist of all that this buoyant city has to offer. So if you happen to be in Bhopal or nearby, do not miss these places because if you do, you might end up feeling rueful.
