Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India Oct 9, 2023

Deep in the heart of India, among the many majestic hill forts of the country, sits the Gwalior Fort, proudly occupying the colossal rocky hill known as Gopachal. Crafted initially from the enduring combination of sandstone and lime mortar, this fort reigns as one of Gwalior"s most distinguished landmarks. Its history stretches far back, marked by sieges and conquests by a procession of rulers throughout the ages. At a certain juncture, the Gwalior Fort stood as an impregnable bastion in the heart of northern and central India. A symbol of military might that harbors a multitude of temples, each bearing the unique imprint of various kings from different eras.
