Gwalior, in central India and in the state of Madhya Pradesh, is a historical town with shades of cultures and mores passing down from many dynasties. Located some 120 kms south of Agra, and once a proud centre of many northern Indian kingdoms, including the Tomras to Mughals to Marathas to Scindias, this city is visited by tourists for its forts, white sandstone mosques, temples and buttresses.
Gwalior is mostly visited for its antique charm of art and architecture, where antiquity and modernity co-exist gloriously.
