Shivpuri
Tourism
Shivpuri is steeped in the royal legacy of its past, when it was the summer
capital of the Scindia rulers of Gwalior. And earlier, its dense forests were
the hunting grounds of the Mughal emperors when great herds of elephants were
captured by emperor Akbar.
Much later, it was the Tiger that roamed the wooded hills and many a magnificent
beast was 'bagged' by royal Shikaris. Today Shivpuri is a sanctuary for rare
wildlife and avifauna. Its royal past has thus been transformed into a vibrant,
hopeful present.
With ts luxuriant forests and undulating hills, Shivpuri was a natural choice
as the summer resort capital of the Scindias. Shivpuri's royal ambience lives
on in the exquisite palaces and hunting lodges and graceful, intricately embellished
marble Chhatris (cenotaphs) erected by the Scindia rulers.
