Pradesh

Pradesh is called the 'heart of India', not only because of its location in
the centre of the country, but also because, it has been home to the cultural
heritage of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Islam. Innumerable monuments, exquisitely
carved temples, forts and palaces are peppered all over the state - glorious
reminders of emperors and kings, warriors and builders, poets and musicians,
saints and philosophers.

Madhya Pradesh Fairs &
Festivals
While
the traditional religious festivals of the Hindus, Muslims and other communities
are celebrated in Madhya Pradesh asenthusiastically as in the rest of India,
it is the tribal fairs and festivals of Madhya Pradesh, which are a celebration
of the ethnic life-styles of the colourful tribes of the land. The tribal festivals
in Jhabua are marked by carefree revelry, drinking bouts and exotic entertainment
like cock-fighting, uninhibited dancing, etc. The casual visitor often fails
to appreciate adequately the genuine and strong tradition of democracy in tribal
society, the harmonious living with nature, the respected status accorded to
women, the amicable sharing of the community resources.

Must See in
Madhya Pradesh
In
the temple architecture of India, the Khajuraho complex remains unique. One
thousand years ago, under the generous and artistic patronage of the Chandela
Rajput kings of Central India, 85 temples, magnificent in form and richly carved,
came up on one site, near the village of Khajuraho. The amazingly short span
of 100 years, from 950 AD - 1050 AD, saw the completion of all the temples,
in an inspired burst of creativity. Today, of the original 85, only 22 have
survived the ravages of time; these remain as a collective paean to life, to
joy and to creativity; to the ultimate fusion of man with his creator.
