The Sentinel of Time: Gwalior’s Majestic Fortress

Rising from the rocky hills of Madhya Pradesh, Gwalior Fort stands as a testament to centuries of power and resilience. Built in the 6th century, this formidable stronghold has witnessed the reign of dynasties from the Tomars to the Mughals. Babur once called it the "pearl among fortresses," admiring its grandeur and impregnability. The fort houses six palaces, including the stunning Man Mandir Palace, adorned with intricate blue-tiled façades. Legends whisper of hidden treasures and heroic battles within its walls. The fort also holds the second-oldest recorded use of the number zero, etched into an ancient temple. A place where history breathes through stone, Gwalior Fort remains an enduring guardian of India’s past. #cityplaybook
