Mandu - मांडू

Mandu, set picturesquely at the edge of the Vindhya range, overlooking the Narmada river was once known as shadiabad, the 'citadel of Joy'. It was the pleasure resort of the rulers of Malwa and echoes with love tales of poet prince Baz Bahadur and Rani Rupmati. Nestled in the Vindhya mountains on a plateau arising off the Nimar plains. The Betwa River runs through it, while the Narmada flows just 20 km away.
