Bhopal, Capital city in Madhya Pradesh, India

The urban landscape of Bhopal spans across multiple lakes, with the Upper Lake and Lower Lake dividing the city into northern and southern sections.

The foundations of modern Bhopal emerged in 1707 when Dost Mohammed Khan established fortifications and transformed the city into a strategic stronghold.

The Taj-ul-Masajid, measuring 424,000 square feet, stands as the largest religious structure in India, featuring pink facades and marble domes.

The Raja Bhoj Airport connects Bhopal to major Indian cities, while the railway junction serves as a central hub for north-south and east-west routes.

The Van Vihar National Park, located within city limits, houses Bengal tigers, lions, and leopards in their natural forest habitat.
