Madhya Pradesh Tourism Latest Ad Campaign: MP Mein Dil Hua Bache Sa

MP Tourism – MP Mein Dil Hua Bache Sa

Relive the fun, carefree times of childhood in Madhya Pradesh! Shape-shifting marble mountains to ship-like historic monuments and a lot more, will make you too sing MP Mein Dil Hua Bache Sa…

Madhya Pradesh triggers your curiosity, enthusiasm and sense of wonder. From marble crocodiles to monuments from outer space, it has a lot to bring out the child within you!

The film uses customized toys made out of tin and painted in the MP art form (Gondha) to showcase different locations, culture, people, dresses, wildlife, textile, womenfolk, markets, marble mountains, forts, and religion. It uses a cot with a rotating dice on it which includes pictures of different places of the state.

Top Destinations in MP

Magical Mandu The ship that never sailed

Jahaz mahal Mandu MP

Floating over it’s own reflection, the Jahaz Mahal in Mandu looks like a ship that’s about to sail. However, for centuries this ship made of stone and mortar never did. Instead, it stood floating over the twin lakes, bearing a silent witness to Mandu’s long, rich and varied history.

The city of Mandu is adorned with spell-binding Afghan architecture surrounded by baobab trees, native to Africa. The grand palaces are still alive with royal romance while the gateways (darwazas) speak of a history of imperial conquests. A walk through Mandu will leave you awe-struck, the way you used to be listening to stories from grandparents.

Funfair of Jabalpur The spectacle of shape-shifting marbles

bhedaghat shape-shifting marbles in MP

Under the brightly lit moon, 100 feet tall mountains of marble change forms as the river Narmada passes through it. This view is so scenic that it stays with you for long. But this is just one of the many gifts that Jabalpur offers.

Here you will enjoy the privilege to experience surreal spectacles of nature romance man’s endeavours to carefully preserve the breath-taking imperial history. No wonder it has been a witness to some of the greatest episodes written by history, folklore and mother nature. Jabalpur is sure to amaze you, whichever direction you turn to, reminiscent of your trips to fun-fairs as a child.

Orchha Travel back in time

chaturbhauj temple orchha MP

The historic town of Orchha, nestled on the banks of river Betwa, was founded in the 16th century by the Bundela Rajput Chief, Rudra Pratap. Here, the river Betwa splits into seven channels, also called the Satdhara. Legend goes that this is in honour of the seven erstwhile Chiefs of Orchha.

The ancient town seems frozen in time, with its many monuments continuing to retain their original grandeur even to this day. Here you will find some of the most fascinating temples and palaces that will help you realise a childhood fantasy – travelling back in time!

The Great Sanchi Stupa Road to enlightenment

The Great Sanchi Stupa

The town of Sanchi is synonymous with Buddhist Stupas – hemispherical structures typically containing relics of the Buddha or his followers. The Stupas of Sanchi were constructed on the orders of Emperor Ashoka to preserve and spread the Buddhist philosophy. Sanchi has been protecting these beautiful and sacred architectural wonders, just the way these wonders have been safeguarding ancient history and art of the Mauryan period.

The numerous stupas, temples, monasteries and an Ashokan pillar have been the focus of interest and awe for global audiences as well. In fact, UNESCO has given the status of ‘World Heritage Site’ to the Mahastupa.

A visit to Sanchi will bring alive the awe you felt as a child as you listened to the tales of Ashoka.

The Pench National Park The real jungle with real Sher Khans

The Pench National Park

Tigers. Leopards. Jackals. And us humans. The Pench National Park, like it did in the iconic ‘The Jungle Book’, still brings humans in close contact with wildlife. Rudyard Kipling based Mowgli’s adventures, and his battle with the furious Sher Khan, on this very place.

Located in the southern reaches of the Satpura range, it is divided by river Pench into nearly two equal parts. This magnificent expanse shelters over 285 resident and migratory birds.

Pench National Park, with its majestic tigers and several other animals and birds, will bring back the thrill you used to have, when watching Mowgli battle Sher Khan.

Throwback: Tourism advertising and "MP Ajab Hai", storytelling in silhouette

Tourism was sluggish in madhya pradesh till the mid 2000s. ashwani lohani was brought in to mp tourism development corporation to build tourism to mp. he revived the corporation and brought in ogilvy india to promote mp tourism..

Throwback: Tourism advertising and "MP Ajab Hai", storytelling in silhouette

Madhya Pradesh (MP) is the “Heart of Incredible India”, having borders with UP, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan. It is the center of India, with pristine nature, abundant wildlife in its 11 national parks, 24 wildlife sanctuaries and six tiger reserves, lakes, rivers and hills. It has 3 UNESCO World Heritage sites, imposing forts, pilgrimage places, flourishing arts, and culture. As a tourist destination, MP has something for everyone.

Sluggish Tourism

Until the early 2000s, the Indian government’s effort at promoting Indian tourism was not yielding significant results. Credit goes to V. Sunil and Amitabh Kant (then in the Ministry of Tourism) who envisaged the “Incredible India” concept to promote India as a tourist destination. Under this banner, states and union territories were encouraged to promote and develop local areas and sites of interest. Tourism was sluggish in Madhya Pradesh till the mid 2000s. Ashwani Lohani was brought in to MP Tourism Development Corporation to build tourism to MP. He revived the Corporation and brought in Ogilvy India to promote MP tourism.

Advertising for MP Tourism

Ogilvy made two successful advertising campaigns. One was the “Hindustan ka dil dekho” campaign and the other was “Bioscope”. For the third ad campaign, Ogilvy was looking for a fresh idea that would resonate with the rustic theme they had conceptualized. Mahesh Garat and Pradyumna Chauhan, led by Abhijit Avasthi, scripted the new commercial. It was shot by Vinil Mathew. The jingle was sung by actor Raghubir Yadav, a native of MP.

Making the “MP Ajab Hai” TV Commercial

A lesser known performing art form called shadowgraphy or ‘ombromanie” was used for the execution of the television commercial. Having ancient roots, this art form uses hands, finger movements, and positions to depict various forms by way of shadows on a curtain.

The black and white shadowgraphy showcased tigers in the wild as the jingle rang, “Ek nahi, do nahi, sekado yahain sher hai”. Legendary Mowgli found mention too. The hand movements seamlessly moved to showcasing the Mandu fort, the gigantic chandeliers of Jai Mahal and the ancient Sanchi Stupa. Geographic marvels like the marble cliffs were depicted too, “Sangemarmar…choota asman hai”.

The lyrics and music were Indian and set a mood for depicting a culturally rich and geographically varied tourist destination. The storytelling-by-hand gestures that took form of deer, birds, elephants, tigers, forts, hills, and people, moved seamlessly like a cinema from scene to scene. The agility and skill of the shadowgraphers from Bengal was noteworthy.

The television commercial ended with the energetic jingle playing on, “MP ajab hai, are sabse gazab hai”. (MP is truly astonishing). This ad allowed a degree of imagination and drama to develop in the audience, as sites and objects were just shadows and not photographs.

MP Tourism, over the years, has been the recipient of many awards, like the “Hall of Fame” award for “Best State for Comprehensive Development of Tourism” for three consecutive years. They have also won “Most Innovative and Unique Tourism Product” for developing Hanuwantiya Tapu (island) as a sightseeing and adventure location amidst Indira Sagar, and the Hanuwantiya Jal Mahotsav, promoting backwater watersports and rejuvenation.

Its Tourism website also promotes many festivals, events and contests like “Sketch the Heart of Incredible India”, to create awareness and engage with the people.

The “MP Ajab Hai” TV commercial has brought MP tourism into the homes and minds of people. It is part of the larger “Incredible India” promotion initiative, and remains iconic for its uniqueness and catchy jingle.
