Bhopal
Information
Discover
the capital city of Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal, an amalgam of an old
historic city, and modern urban planning. Situated on the 11th
century city, Bhojapal, founded by Raja Bhoja but the present city
was established by an Afghan soldier, Dost Mohammed. Today it
presents a multi-faceted profile: the old city with its marketplaces
and fine old mosques and palaces still bears the aristocratic
imprint of its former rulers, among them the succession of powerful
Begums who ruled Bhopal from 1819 to 1926. Equally imposing is the
new city with its verdant, exquisitely laid out parks and gardens,
broad avenues and streamlined modern edifices. Travel Bhopal, an
abode that entices travellers from all over the world.
