★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Mandav (also called mandu) is an ancient fort city in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh near Indore. It's surrounded by stone walls dotted with darwazas (gateways). Infact it is India's largest living fort covering a staggering area of 68 Sq.Km. It's also known for its Indo- Afghan architectural heritage. Landmark buildings include Hoshang Shah’s Tomb, a domed marble mausoleum, and the vast Jami Masjid mosque, with courtyards framed by colonnades. The imposing, centuries-old Jahaz Mahal palace stands between 2 lakes. The technological marvels at the Jahaz Mahal ranging from Water Filtration and distribution system to the knowledge of air conditioning hundreds of years ago when it was constructed is astonishing. The fort accomodates more than 100 different monuments and Ruins from different historical Era ranging from 6th Century to 16th Century. Very few heritage places in the world have this variety and volume of architectural marvels and monuments of significant historical importance. The Fort and the city is also dotted with Baobab trees which fruit a very different kind of tamarind. This place surely deserves to be recognized by the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is highly recommended to hire a professional guide to understand the history and monuments in detail. Ideally 2 days shud be enough to see almost all important monuments around.
