Details: This beautiful guidebook explores the medieval hill-fort of Mandu, 99 kms from Indore in Madhya Pradesh, described by emperors, historians and travellers as the 'City of Joy'. The Malwa Sultans built exquisite palaces and mosques here between the 14th and 16th centuries. The ship-like Jahaz Mahal, moored, as it were, between two picturesque kunds that fill to the brim during the rains, Hoshang Shah's Tomb, said to have inspired the builders of Taj Mahal and Jami Masjid, conceived and executed like the Mosque of Damascus, stand testimony to the grand vision of their patrons. The book also traces the legend of the star-crossed love of the poet-prince Baz Bahadur and his beautiful consort, Roopmati. The Mandu Travel Guide includes a well-researched section on Indore, the gateway to Mandu, and nearby destinations such as the popular pilgrim destinations of Maheshwar and Omkareshwar, the district of Jhabua known for its colourful Bhagoriya festival and the 6th century rock-cut Bagh Caves.
