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:
