Madhya Pradesh is about to become even more fascinating with the addition of three new attractions: a Museum of Music, a Diamond Museum, and a Geological Park. These projects aim to highlight the state's rich history, culture, and natural wonders, drawing visitors from all over the country.
In Gwalior, a Museum of Music will be created at Moti Mahal, a historic palace with 300 rooms built in 1825 by Maharaja Daulat Rao Scindia. The project has a budget of Rs 20 crore, with the union government approving Rs 10 crore. Gwalior is known as the birthplace of the famous Indian classical singer Tansen and has been recognized by UNESCO as the Creative City of Music. The museum will celebrate Gwalior's musical heritage and India's classical music history.
The Diamond Museum in Panna will be another major attraction. It will be located in Yadvendra Bhavan, an 18th-century building on a hill overlooking Dharmasagar Lake. This museum will tell the story of diamond mining in the area. Visitors will learn about how diamonds are mined and polished, and they will also see displays about the history and culture of Bundelkhand. The project is being developed with the help of the Union Ministry of mines.
Another exciting project is the Geological Park at Lamhetaghat on the banks of the Narmada River in Jabalpur. This park will cover 12 hectares and will show different types of rocks, minerals, and fossils. A nature trail will also be part of the park, giving visitors a chance to explore the natural surroundings. The park is being developed with the support of the Union Ministry of Culture.
