Madhya Pradesh, owing to its geographical standing, has been a melting pot for many religions,
To the east of the Gwalior city stands the mausoleum of Muhammad Ghaus. It is built in the form of a square with hexagonal towers at the corners surmounted by small domes. Shaikh Mohammad Ghaus, whose body lies within, is a well-known Muslim saint of the sixteenth century. Muhammad Ghaus, the 6th-century Sufi master of the Shattari order and Sufi saint, was a musician and the author of Jawahir-i Khams. Ghaus also translated the Amrtakunda (Pool of Nectar), from Sanskrit to Persian retitled as the Bahr al-Hayat (The Ocean of Life). This work introduces a set of yoga practices to Sufism. One of the most famous disciples of Ghaus, Miyan Tansen is also buried near the mausoleum.
Gwalior is just one example, but the whole of Madhya Pradesh is a testimony to this historically rich harmonious culture.
