Why to visit Gwalior Fort
The Gwalior Fort, dubbed "the pearl among castles in India" by Mughal emperor Babur, is one of the most formidable fortresses in the entire northern and southern India, and is a must-see destination. This enormous structure, located on the summit of a large rocky mountain in Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, central India, dominates the entire city of Gwalior. Evidence says it has been around since the 6th century, and it is an integral element of the city's identity and architecture. It is also the site of the world's second-oldest reference to the number 'zero,' which was discovered in the form of a carving within a temple on the fort's highest point.
The Gwalior Fort was built in two portions, at two distinct times, and as a result, this architectural marvel has a fascinating history. It has been passed down from one dynasty to the next several times. Man Mandir, the Gujari, the Jahangir, the Karan, and the Shah Jahan are among the temples, water reservoirs, and palaces that make up the fort complex.
