“Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.”
- Lao Tzu

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/
