Book excerpt: The Chanderi Travel Guide takes the reader on a fascinating journey to this hitherto unexplored but charming destination in Madhya Pradesh. Located in the north of the Malwa Plateau, Chanderi has historically been a coveted military outpost for rulers of the north seeking to make forays into the Deccan. The Khiljis, Mughals and Bundelas successively held sway here, building architectural gems like the Chanderi Fort, Badal Mahal Gate, Jama Masjid and Chaubisi Jain temple. Also dotting the landscape are numerous baolis and dargahs that lend a special feel to the town. The book also has a well-researched section on Chanderi s weaving tradition that today overshadows its history and legends, with shimmering, gossamer fabrics that have captivated the world.
