About Bhopal
There is a saying in Bhopal that those who visit the city once will always return. Bhopal is the capital city of India's largest state Madhya Pradesh, and is located on the latitude 23°16' north and longitude 77°36' east. Situated in the north-western part of the state, it lies along the slopes of a Sandstone ridge, which is a part of the Malwa Plateau. It is 744 kilometers south of Delhi, and 779 kilometers north-west of Mumbai (Bombay).
Bhopal was once a small, sleepy picturesque town on the banks of an immense and beautiful lake, with lush forests and leisurely days filled with shatranj (chess) of shikar (hunting), picnics, and quiet fishing trips. The new Bhopal is an antithesis of the old. One of the greenest cities of India, it has wide, clean, well-lit roads lined with fiery, statuesque Gulmohar trees. Even today, despite becoming the capital of the state of Madhya Pradesh and the consequent influx of people, it retains about it an almost ethereal quaintness and calm.
