Heritage- Mandu, A Celebrartion in Stone

(Jahaaz Mahal)

Mandu is a sleepy remote big-village-or-small-town perched on the crest of Vindhya Range. Mandu is an old fortified city ruins, that dates back to 6th century. It was capital city of Rajputs, then invaded by afghans, Mughals called it a pleasure resort, then Marathas moved the capital to Dhar and the prosparity of Mandu started diminishing ... still the splendor of Mandu lives on ... I took a bus from Ujjain to Indore (71KM), then a bus to Dhar (66KM) and then to Mandu (35KM). Yeah ... long journey :)
