Gwalior is a historic city located in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. In 1914, it was still a princely state under British colonial rule, ruled by the Scindia dynasty. The city was known for its magnificent fort, which is perched on a hill overlooking the city.

The city was divided into two parts: the old city and the new city. The old city, also known as the walled city, was built around the fort and was a maze of narrow streets and alleyways. The new city, on the other hand, was more modern and had wider streets and buildings with a mix of Indian and European architectural styles.

Some of the notable landmarks in the city included the Jai Vilas Palace, which was the residence of the Scindia family, and the tomb of the famous musician Tansen. The city also had several temples and mosques, including the famous Teli Ka Mandir and the Gwalior Fort complex, which housed several temples and palaces.

Overall, Gwalior in 1914 would have been a vibrant and diverse city with a rich history and culture.
