        Now question come’s in mind is that why Gwalior known as Gwalior.  As my per knowledge and according to   local tradition there is a famous prince of Kuchhwaha in 5th century, named Suraj Sen  once he went in jungle and he lost his way. And on a secluded hill he met an old man the saint Gwalipa. The prince asking the saint for some drinking water then he was led to a pond the waters not only quenched his thirst but cured him of leprosy. The prince wished to offer the sage something in return, and the saint asked him to build a wall on the hill to protect the other sages from wild animals. Suraj Sen later built a palace inside the fort, which had been named "Gwalior" after the sage eventually the city which grew around the fort took the same name. So this is the story behind the name of Gwalior
