Gwalior occupies a strategic location in the Gird region of NorthIndia, and the city and its fortress have served as the center of several of North India's historic kingdoms. Gwalior is the administrative headquarters of Gwalior district and Gwalior division.
At the heart of Gwalior is its fortress (Gwalior Fort), built by RajaMan Singh Tomar, of the Tomar dynasty. This formidable structure had the reputation of being one of the most invincible forts of India. It occupies an isolated rock outcrop. The hill is steepended to make it virtually unscalable and is surrounded by high walls which enclose buildings from several periods. The old town of Gwalior lies at the easternbase of the fortress. Lashkar, formerly a separate town that originated as a military camp, lies to the south, and Morar, also a formerly separate town, lies to the east. Gwalior, Lashkar and Morar are presently part of Gwalior Municipality. Historically and architecturally, Gwalior is interesting first as a very ancient seat of Jain worship; secondly for its example of palace architecture of the best Hindu period (1486-1516); and thirdly as an historic fortress. Many historical places are found near Dabra-Bhitarwar Road. (Wikipedia.org)
