A picturesque town surrounded by barren hills, Dhar is a treasure trove of culture and heritage. Dotted with forts, temples and mosques, Dhar has a mysterious charm that appeals to travellers. One of the most visited spots in the scenic town is the Bhoj Shala mosque, which was built by Raja Bhoj (1010-1055 CE) of the Paramara dynasty, who was a great lover of literature. Other famous places include the Lath Masjid and the Bagh Caves. Art lovers should definitely visit the Fadke Studio of Art, which was built in the memory of renowned sculptor Raghunath Krishna Fadke, who was invited to Dhar in 1933 to promote art in the town. The studio houses a great collection of sculptures of famous Indian personalities like Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekanand.
