The natural beauty
Mausolea on the bank of the Betwa
River.
The natural beauty of Madhya Pradesh
is equally varied. Consisting largely of a
plateau streaked with the hill ranges of
the Vindhyas and the Satpuras, the
State has everything. The hills give rise
to the main river system - Narmada and
the Tapti, running from east to west, and
theChambal, Sone, Betwa, Mahanadi west to
east. Spectacular mountain ranges,
meandering rivers dotted with hills and lakes
and miles and miles of dense forests offering a
unique and exciting panorama of wildlife in
sylvan surroundings.
One third of the state is forested and
offers a unique and exciting panorama
of wildlife. In the National Parks
ofKanha, Bandhavgarh,Shivpuri and
many others one has the rare
opportunity to see the tiger, the bison
and a wide variety of deer and antelope
in sylvan surroundings.

World heritage sites
Although the modern state of Madhya Pradsh came into being in 1956, its
cultural heritage is ancient and chequered. Innumerable monuments, exquisitely
carved temples, stupas, forts and palaces on hilltops, raise in the visitors mind
visions of empires and kingdoms, of the great warriors and builders, poets and
musicians, saints and philosophers; of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Islam.
The famous Sanskrit poet-dramatist Kalidasa and the great musician of the
Mughal court, Tansen, were from Madhya Pradesh.
Several cities in Madhya Pradesh are extraordinary for their architecture
and or scenic beauty.
Four sites in Madhya Pradesh have been declared World Heritage
Sites by UNESCO:
