There are a lot of pre-historic and medieval age monuments, caves and relics in Madhya Prasdesh (MP) to make it one of the major parts of Incredible India!

MP has a lot of places of historic interest. Infact that reminds me; some days back I was flying Jet Airways and I saw an article on some very old Photographs of Nawabs of Bhopal. Some fantastic pictures i must say!

I have been staying in Bhopal for over a week now. Purpose of visit to Bhopal (viz. also called city of lakes!!) is obviously work but exploration comes with it. Some areas of great interest nearby Bhopal are: Sanchi - Stupas, Monasteries and Relics dating back to 3rd Century BC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanchi), Bheem Bhaitika - some 700 caves with pre-historic paintings , Bhojeshwar Temple (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhojpur,_Madhya_Pradesh), Udaygiri caves (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udaygiri), et al

Below are some of the photographs. Masters are shared on flickr here –> http://www.flickr.com/photos/hyphenen/sets/72157623495520044/

It gives you an great feeling to be at a place like this. Some amazing stone carvings are a part of Sanchi and of all the Stupas and the Gates. Find more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanchi_Stupa
