Inside CM Mohan Yadav's simple Bhopal residence
Located in Shyamla Hills area, a neighbourhood of Bhopal, the residence is far from what one might expect of a political figure. It's neither overly extravagant nor modern in a flashy sense. Instead, it carries a simplicity with its traditional architecture, open spaces, and connection to nature.
Gaushala, private temple and lake views
One of the first things that stands out is the presence of a Gaushala (a cowshed) within the property, something rarely seen in urban homes today. For Mohan Yadav, this isn't just symbolic. It's a practice rooted in his childhood, where caring for ‘Gau Mata’ was more than tradition, it was a way of life.
