Gwalior, Historical fort city in Madhya Pradesh, India.
The Gwalior Fort stands on a sandstone plateau extending over 3 kilometers in length, dominating the urban landscape from a height of 100 meters.
Established in the 8th century by Raja Suraj Sen after his encounter with saint Gwalipa, the city grew into a major power center during medieval India.
The Gwalior School of classical music, founded in the 16th century, developed innovative techniques in Indian classical vocal performances through generations of musicians.
