Bhopal
today presents a multi-faceted profile; the old city with its teeming market
places and fine old mosques and palaces still bear the aristocratic imprint
of its former rulers; among them the succession of powerful Begums who ruled
Bhopal from 1819 to 1926. Equally impressive is the new city with its verdant,
exquisitely laid out parks and gardens, broad avenues and streamlined modern
edifices.

It carries the abstruseness, the discord, the charm and the dynamism of a city where the past coexists in harmony with the present.
