Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire, called the Gwalior Fort "the pearl among the fortresses of India." The fort - rising 300 feet above the city on a sheer rocky escarpment, visible for miles in every direction - has been fought over by the Tomara kings, the Mughals, the Marathas, and the British. The Man Mandir Palace within its walls is one of the finest examples of Rajput architecture in central India. And at the base of the fort, the city that grew around it became one of India's great centres of culture, music, and royal patronage.
The Scindias - the Maratha royal family who made Gwalior their seat of power - gave the city the Jai Vilas Palace, whose Durbar Hall contains two 12-ton chandeliers still hanging exactly as they were installed. And from this city came Tansen, the legendary musician who sang at Akbar's court and whose genius founded the Gwalior Gharana - one of India's oldest and most respected classical music traditions. The annual Tansen Music Festival continues to bring musicians and audiences from across India to sing near his tomb.
This is the backdrop against which Gwalior celebrates. And it celebrates well - with the warmth of a central Indian city, the joint-family affection of the Chambal region's culture, and the generosity that seems to come naturally to a city that has always been at the crossroads of Indian history.

Gwalior's Brahmin community, Maratha families with the Scindia legacy's influence, and the city's broader Hindu majority strongly prefer eggless cakes for family gatherings and religious occasions. The city's vegetarian traditions run deep - ordering eggless for a Gwalior celebration is almost always the right choice.
Eggless cakes are available in every flavour - chocolate, vanilla, butterscotch, black forest, red velvet, pineapple, strawberry, mango, and rasmalai. The texture, taste, and appearance are identical to egg-based versions. Mention "eggless" at checkout at no extra cost.
For diabetic grandparents and older relatives, sugar-free options are also available.
