Situated south of Satpura Range on the Malwa Plateau, Indore is the largest city in Madhya Pradesh. The city is called the cosmopolitan capital of Madhya Pradesh and is definitely the most living as well. The city, which was founded by landlords in year 1715, gets its name from temples of Indreshwar and Indrapur. The city served as the summer capital of former state of Madhya Bharat before it was taken into Madhya Pradesh. Today Indore is a center of garment industries and is some times also referred to as ‘Textile City’.
The overall outlook of the city is an amalgamation of young and old, historical and contemporary. Small shops still dominate the market place but now they stand wall to wall with glittering showrooms and retail stores. The metropolitan is fast catching up with many malls becoming land of sort for the Indore residents
Indore is explicitly the best destination in India when it comes to street foods. The moment you set foot in Indore, the aroma of spicy and salty food arrests all your senses. Many residents of nearby areas come to Indore just to tread through those tasteful streets that are full of food vendors and pamper their taste buds. The most known streets are Sarafa Bazaar, Chhapan Dukaan and Chhawni Chowk.
The present Mahatma Gandhi Hall was initially named as King Edward Hall when it was built in the year 1904. It was then renamed to Mahatma Gandhi Hall only in 1948. The building is made up of Seoni stones and is built in Indo-Gothic style. It is also referred to as 'Ghanta Ghar' because of the four-faced clock tower in front. The Town Hall houses children's park along with a temple and a library. The Hall also is venue to many fairs and exhibitions that are held here throughout the year.
