The bustling commercial centre of Madhya Pradesh, Indore was a princely state until 1947, ruled by the Martha Holkar dynasty. At the heart of the city, surrounded by a lively bazaar, is the Rajwada Palace, now just an imposing façade. A short walk west if it stands the Kanch Mandir, an opulent 19th century Jain temple, decorated with mirrors, chandeliers and murals on glass. On the southwestern edge of Indore is the the opulent Lalbagh Palace, built by the rulers of Indore in the early 20th century.
