offerings of Gujarat in terms of its culture, traditions, music, tourist spots,
its treasure trove of artefacts and handicrafts and much more. This is the
first time that Gujarat is visiting Madhya Pradesh and is looking at building a
bond with the latter by inviting its people over to visit and experience the state’s
