Gwalior Fort: It is known for its stunning architecture and unique history. One of the most unique things about this monument is that it has influences from Hindu and Islamic architecture alike.

Suraj Kund: It is a beautiful pond situated near the Gwalior Fort. According to the story the king suffered from leprosy, he met a sadhu named Gwalipa near the fort. The monk asked the king to drink some water from the pond, Raja drank the water and got cured of leprosy. Then the king named the city Gwalipa after the monk, and from then, the city came to be called Gwalior and the Suraj Kund is named after the king.

Teli Ka Mandir: It is a Hindu temple located within the Gwalior Fort. It is Dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and Matrikas. The temple shows signs of extensive damage and change. It was badly damaged in the plunder raids by Muslim army of Qutb-ud-din Aibak and his successor Iltutmish in 1232 CE along with other temples in the fort.

It is said that this temple was built by oil merchant caste rather than kings.

Saas Bahu Temple: Originally it is Sahasra-Bahu temple which means "One with thousand arms", a form of Vishnu. This temple was built in 1092 by King Mahipala of the Kachchhapaghata dynasty.

Gurudwara Data Bandi Chor: The history of this is associated with the imprisonment of Guru Har Gobind Sahib in Gwalior Fort and release in which he managed to win the freedom of 52 Rajas (Kings) who had long suffered imprisonment in the Fort. The

word "Bandi" means "imprisoned", "Chhod" means "release" that

is why it is called Gurudwara Data Bandi Chor.

Chaturbhuj Temple: It is a Hindu temple dedicated to the god

Vishnu. One of the temple's inscriptions contains the earliest

known inscription of symbol "O" to represent zero in India, the

earliest existent use of zero. But the temple is partially damaged
