Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh)Description: Bhopal, the capital of Madhya pradesh, is a fascinating amalgam of scenic beauty, old historic city and modern urban planning. It is the 11th century city Bhojpal, founded by Raja bhoj, but the present city was established by an Afghan soldier, Dost Mohammed (1707-1740). His descendants built Bhopal into a beautiful city. The two lakes of Bhopal still dominate the city, and are indeed its nucleus. Bordered along their shores stand silent sentinels that testify to the growth of the city. Bhopal today presents a multi-faceted profile the old city with its marketplaces and fine old mosques and palaces. Equally impressive is the new city with its verdant, exquisitely laid out parks and gardens, broad avenues and streamlined modern edifices. The city is famous for silver jewellery, exquisitely fashioned beadwork, embroidered and sequined velvet fashioned purses and cushions. Bhopal has been a city in which one finds traces of cultures as different as those of buddhists, hindus, moguals and afghans, all of which have been blended to perfection, providing Bhopal a distinct identity.
