A visit to the Gwallior Fort is the main attraction here. On the way to the fort you may see the Jain sculptures that have been carved out of the rock. These sculptures date back to the 8th and 15th centuries. The fort is entered through the Urwahi gate. Inside the complex are some of the most exquisite temples and palaces in all of India. The most spectacular Palace in the complex is Man Mandir and was built between 1486 and 1516 by Raja Man Singh. Another important attraction outside of the fort to the south is the opulent Jai Vilas Palace built in the late 19th Century in an Italianate style. The reception hall is home to two of the world’s largest chandeliers that weigh 3 tonnes each. Today this palace has been turned into a museum and it has some interesting exhibits. Do not miss seeing the mechanical silver toy train that was used by the Maharaja to carry the liqueurs around the dining table. North of the fort is the location of two Muslim monument s dating back to the 16th Century? One is the tomb of Mohammed Ghaus with its outstanding stone lattice work screens and the other is the Tomb of Tansen. Interestingly Tansen was a well regarded singer in the court of Emperor Akbar and his tomb reflects the esteem in which he was held.
