Gujari Mahal Archaeological Museum
गूजरी महल
A palace built by Man Singh for his Gujari queen, now an archaeological museum housing the famed Salabhanjika tree goddess sculpture.
Gujari Mahal was built in the late 15th century by Man Singh for his beloved queen, Mrignayani, and stands at the northeast foot of the fort. The palace now houses the Madhya Pradesh Archaeological Museum, which holds Hindu and Jain sculptures and inscriptions excavated in the Gwalior region. Its crown jewel is the Salabhanjika, a tree goddess sculpture from Jabalpur, which may require a permit to view. You can visit it on the way up to the fort from Gwalior Gate. Foreign visitors pay a higher ticket price.
