I did a 6-day tour of some of the important and interesting historical sites in and around Bhopal. My itinerary was largely based on inputs from @Hiddenheritage and the following books of Major General Sir Alexander Cunningham:
1. The Bhilsa Topes (1854)
1. The Bhilsa Topes (1854)
2. Report of a Tour in Budelkhand and Malwa in 1874-77, Vol. 10 of Annual report of Archeological Survey of India.
I will be sharing some of the interesting things that I saw.
Caution: This is going to be a very very very very long thread. Don't doze off!

First stop - Indore Central Museum.

Lakulisha - an revivalist of the ancient Pashupata sect. Iconographic hint - erect penis (urdhva-retah).
