Bhopal

Editor's Note

Capital of Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal is known for its grand mosques, bustling marketplaces and art and culture centres. Of course, Bhopal's most popular element remains the great Sanchi Stupa, which is a UNESCO declared heritage structure and is one of the most impressive Buddhist structures in Asia. True, Bhopal is almost devoid of the typical touristy crowd that throngs most other cities. But its architecturally exceptional Taj-ul-Masjid, the Lakshmi Narayana Temple and the Shaukat Mahal, coupled with the wonders that the ancient caves of Bhimbhetka offer, would definitely leave you looking for more.
