The natural beauty

Mausolea on the bank of the Betwa River.

The natural beauty of Madhya Pradesh is equally varied.

Consisting largely of a plateau streaked with the hill ranges of

the Vindhyas and

the Satpuras, the State has everything. The hills give rise to the

main river system - Narmada and the Tapti, running from east to

west, and theChambal, Sone, Betwa, Mahanadiwest to east.

Spectacular mountain ranges, meandering rivers dotted with

hills and lakes and miles and miles of dense forests offering a

unique and exciting panorama of wildlife in sylvan surroundings.

One third of the state is forested and offers a unique and

exciting panorama of wildlife. In the National Parks

ofKanha,Bandhavgarh, Shivpuriand many others one has

the rare opportunity to see the tiger, the bison and a wide

variety of deer and antelope in sylvan surroundings.

World heritage sites

Although the modern state of Madhya Pradsh came into being in 1956, its cultural heritage is ancient and

chequered. Innumerable monuments, exquisitely carved temples, stupas, forts and palaces on hilltops, raise

in the visitors mind visions of empires and kingdoms, of the great warriors and builders, poets and

musicians, saints and philosophers; of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Islam. The famous Sanskrit poet-

dramatistKalidasa and the great musician of the Mughal court,Tansen, were from Madhya Pradesh.

Several cities in Madhya Pradesh are extraordinary for their architecture and or scenic beauty.

Four sites in Madhya Pradesh have been declared World Heritage Sitesby UNESCO:

The city attracted international attention after the Bhopal disaster, when a Union Carbide India Limited

(UCIL) pesticide manufacturing plant leaked a mixture of deadly gases includingmethyl isocyanateon the

night of 2/3 December 1984, leading to one of the worst industrial disasters in history and a loss of

thousands of lives. Many more were rendered sick and have been facing chronic health problems such as

psychological and neurological disabilities, blindness, skin, vision and breathing disorders[5] and the children,

whose parents or even grandparents (i.e. second generation) were exposed to the gas, still suffer from

serious birth defects.[6][7] The soil and ground water near the factory site, has been contaminated by the toxic

wastes and other chemicals still leaking from the factory.[7][8][9]The Indian government, however, maintains

that no such pollution has taken place or that any such toxins are even present at the site .[10] Since then,
