Gwalior is the fourth largest city of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, where it serves as the capital and administrative headquarters of the eponymous district and division. It is a cultural hub renowned for its musical heritage, home to the oldest musical gharana of the Indian subcontinent, and contains an ancient inscription bearing one of the earliest known uses of zero in the Hindu numeral system. The Alchon Huns, the Gurjara Pratihara and the Kachchhapaghata dynasty each governed the region across its history, before it came under the Delhi Sultanate and later the Tomar dynasty.
