"THE GWALIOR PALACE"

11th October,2015
The students of S.G.T.B.Khalsa College accompanied by their teacher Mrs. Smita Mishra went to the beautiful palace of Gwalior, 'Jai Vilas Palace' & were all mesmerized to see the opulent beauty of it. 'Jai Vilas Palace' was constructed by Maharaja Jayaji Scindia (Shinde) in the yr 1874 at a cost of Rs.1 crore. The white facade was originally a palace, but then a part of it was turned into museum, attracting a good bunch of tourists, It is still a residence of the descendants of the former royal Maratha Scindia dynasty.
The palace has a combination of different architectural styles like Tuscan, Italian-Doric & Corinthan. The collection, focusing art & craft, at the museum has been brought from all around the world. Also the very famous Durbar Hall is decorated with gilt & gold furnishing & adorned with huge carpet & gigantic Belgian chandeliers. The carpet is supposed to be one of the largest in Asia. The cavernous dining room with a model of railway with a silver train that carried after dinner brandy & cigars around the table was remarkable indeed. Other attractions of this palace were the stuffed tiger carcass. ladies swimming pool, oil painting by Raja Ravi Verma, Malabar Furniture, Crystal Furniture, Palki(Palanquin), Pooja Ghar, Royal old photographs , Chinese pot, Clothes & footwear of royalty, weapons and many more. Also a part of the palace is now a museum in the memory of Lt. Madhavrao Scindia holding all his achievements throughout his lifetime.
All in all, it was a great experience to know about the history of such a dynamic kingdom. The whole museum was a crackerjack, leaving many of us with a mind full of curiosity to know more about the arcanes of this princely world.

THE MAGNIFICENT GWALIOR FORT

The Gwalior Fort spreads out over an are of 3 square km, surrounded by concrete walls of sandstone. Built in the 8th century the fort encloses three temples, six palaces and numerous water tanks. The fort is a symbol of beauty and magnificence.


The fort has been controlled by different rulers in the past from the Tomars to the Mughals, Marathas and the British. Today this fort is controlled by the government of Madhya Pradesh and is open for public to adore its beautiful structure. The Mann Singh Palace is one of the amazing palaces of the Gwalior fort. This palace was built by Raja Mann Singh Tomar in the 15th century. It was in the same palace where  the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb imprisoned and later murdered his brother Murad.


The view from the fort is spellbound and the entire Gwalior city looks like heaven from above.


In the evening there is a sound and light show inside the fort which is specially arranged by the government of Madhya Pradesh. This has a special resemblance as it depicts the history of the fort and the light show adds to its beauty and charm.


The fort looks like an angel under the moonlit sky.

Morar - fighting for identity

Media chaupal, an event that happens every year to raise the voice of some environmental issues of some areas which people are not aware about .

This year they had lighten the issue of river conservation and started it up with the nearest river called "Morar river " , a river situated in Madhya Pradesh which was giving life to many people from years .

But now this river is fading away its identity . Today's generation do not call it a river, they call it a ,"naala". The reason behind is the human interference in the natural flow of Morar .

Due to throwing of rotten flesh and undisposable  garbage, this river has become a home of diseases for the people who stays at bank . 

A real action should be taken to save the river because its already too late.
