“Gwalior’s designation as a UNESCO Creative City of Music is a testament to Madhya Pradesh’s rich musical heritage. Madhya Pradesh offers a unique travel experience for music lovers. Gwalior celebrates its musical heritage through ‘Tansen Samaroh’, a festival dedicated to Tansen’s legacy. Bhopal, the capital city, hosts events like the Lokrang Festival, showcasing the state’s diverse folk and tribal music,” says Sheo Shekhar, Director of the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board.

“Madhya Pradesh is an offbeat multispecialty destination of first choice and every city in the state boasts a unique musical identity, and four largest music gharanas enrich the state’s diverse soundscape. Experience the music of Madhya Pradesh,” he adds.
