The Gwalior Fort ( Son-Et-Lumiere)

The Sound and Light show at the Man Mandir Palace of Gwalior Fort gives you a glimpse into the glorious past. Taking you back in time to the legendary Suraj Sen, the Rajput chieftain who was hunting in the hills and forest, lost and thirsty, Suraj Sen came across the sage Gwalipa who directed him to a pool, which would quench his thirst. After drinking the cool, healing waters of this 'kund', Suraj Sen was cured of leprosy. In gratitude, he built a tank and a fort on the site and named the city as Gwalior after this great sage.

The Rajputs constructed palaces and temples inside the fort of which the Sas Bahu Ka Mandir and Teli Ka Mandir are fine examples. Locally available sandstone has been used. For a brief period in history Turks invaded Gwalior. Sieges by Mehmood of Ghaznavi and others have been realistically created. 'Jauhar' scenes where Rajput women immolate themselves are realistically depicted.
