Regal Roots of Central India

They say the heart of a land holds its truest rhythm, and Central India plays this role beautifully. It beats with stories that are carved in stones, sung in forests, and lived in traditions passed down through generations. Many people call it the heartland of India, a place where tigers roam free, Khajuraho’s sculpted temple is worshipped for artistry centuries ahead of time, and the Buddhist stupas of Sanchi remind us of a deeper calm. But beyond that, the warmth of local markets, the flavour of Indore’s poha, and the tribal festivals in Bastar make it the heart of India.
