11. Ujjain Ujjain Ujjain is located on the river Shipra. It is impossible to find out when it became a sacred place. People regard Shipra as sacred, which originated from the story of gods and demons stirring the milk sea in ancient Hindu mythology. They used the snake Wang Po Suji as a stirring rope, hoping to stir up the nectar of longevity. The nectar that everyone coveted was offered by the sea in a bowl, and the brutal struggle began immediately. Then the demon chased the gods in the sky. During the chase, some manna spilled from the bowl and dripped on Hadwa, Nasik, Prayak and Ujain. Thus, the Shipra River became sacred water. Ujain is one of the holiest and oldest cities in India, which has occupied an important position during the reign of Ashoka. Because the temple of Huolinga, built in Ang Kares Vaal, is very famous, it has also become one of the seven holy cities in India.

14. Mandu Mandu is a hymn expressed by stones, praising life and joy, and the love of poet Prince Baz Bahadur for his beautiful wife Rani Lupomati. Mandu was built in the direction of the Vindia Mountains by virtue of natural hazards, with an altitude of 2, feet. It was originally the fortress and capital of the ruler of Palma, Malva, and later passed to the Sultan who ruled Malva at the end of the 13th century. The first sultan named it Shatiabad, which means "happy city". What pervades Mandu is indeed a pleasant spirit. Its rulers built exquisite palaces, beautifully decorated waterways, baths and pavilions here. They are elegant and exquisite, just in line with an era of peace and prosperity. During the Mughal reign, Mandu was an entertainment resort. Its lakes and palaces have also become splendid and luxurious places for feasting and music. Every facility in Mandu is a masterpiece of architecture. Its main facilities are:

15. Dalva Darwazas is the breast wall on the city wall built around Mandu. It is 45 kilometers long and has 12 doorways in the middle. One of the most notable is Derridarwaza, the main entrance to this fortress city. There are several doorways to enter the fortress from here, and these doorways are all guarded by fortifications and redoubts with walls. 16. Jahaz mahar Jahaz Mahal This is a 12-meter-long "boat palace" built between two artificial lakes-Manjitarau and Kapitalarau. It is an elegant two-story palace, with open-air pavilions and verandahs flying above the water and courtyard. Jahaz mahar's imagination is rich, which can be said to be a kind of enjoyment of stone carving architecture. This stone building embodies the exquisite skills needed for royal enjoyment. On a bright moon night, from the neighboring Tavelli mahar, the silhouette of the whole building, including the small vaults and corner towers in the pavilions lightly located above the courtyard, often gives people unforgettable impressions.

17. Hindula mahar Hindola Mahal This is an audience hall. Its name "Revolving Palace" comes from its sloping side wall. Superb and novel technology is also manifested in its decorative wall, fine sandstone lattice wall and beautifully carved stone columns. 18. Hou Shang Sha Tomb Hoshang Shah's Tomb It is the first marble building in India and one of the most elegant examples of Afghan architecture. The huge and magnificent vault, the elegant marble lattice structure, the courtyard with colonnade and the tall towers at the four corners of the rectangular courtyard all show its unique characteristics. In order to build the Taj Mahal, Shah Jahan once selected four of his outstanding architects and sent them to study the design of Houshang Shah's tomb and draw inspiration from it.

19. Jami Masjid Jami Masjid: The construction of Jami Mosque was inspired by Damascus Grand Mosque. It was built on a large scale, with a high pedestal and a huge dome porch rising in the middle. In the background, there are also equally magnificent vaults and countless small vaults between them. What is impressive is its huge scale and almost rigid simplicity in structure. The grand courtyard of the mosque is surrounded by wide pillars. The arrangement of the number of arches, columns and wall holes in the colonnade, as well as the rows of vaults above it, are all varied and pleasing to the eye. 2. The Pavilion of Lupomati Roopmati's Pavilion was originally built as a military observation post. For the lovely queen, this elegant double pavilion building is a resting place. From the vantage point on the top of the mountain, she can see Buzz Bahadur's palace and the Narmada River flowing through the Nima Plain in the distance. 21. Indore Indore is located on the Malva Plateau, 553 meters above sea level. The city is located on the banks of two small rivers-Salaswati River and Kan River. The two rivers meet in the center of the city. There is a small 18th-century temple at the confluence, which is called Sanghamnat, or Indoraishwar. The name Indore is derived from the name of God mentioned by the latter. It is the largest city in Madhya Pradesh and the business center of the state. The modern city of Indore was planned and built by the heroic Queen Rani Ashiliyabayi of Hokal. Ashliya Bayi is one of the most outstanding figures in Marathi and an extraordinary female ruler in India. She was a rare Indian king who was regarded as a god before her death. 22. Chitra Kut Chitrakoot Chitra Kut, which means "Mountain of Wonders", is quietly located on the northern branch of Mount Wendia. The sacred tradition of Kut in Chitra can be traced back to the legendary times: it was in this dense jungle that Rama and Siddhartha spent eleven of their fourteen years in exile. It is also here that the three main gods of Hindu temples, Brahma, Vishnu and Great Isha, once descended to earth.

23. Pei Dekaat Bhedaghat stands a "marble rock wall" with a height of 1 feet on both sides of the section of the Narmada River passing through Pei Dekaat, shining brilliantly. Crystal-clear and calm river water, surrounded by vertical magnesium limestone steep walls, constitutes a fascinating beauty. On the moonlit night, boating on a clear water like mercury is like swimming in a dreamland. When the Narmada River passes through the "marble rock wall", the current narrows, and then drops suddenly, forming a waterfall called Dundar, which means "smoke waterfall". The impact of the current is so strong that you can hear its roar from a distance. The huge waterfalls and splashing waves formed by rapids make people see the shocking scene caused by the release of natural forces. Another fascinating place near Pei Dekaat is Joe.
