Geography & terrain

Nagpur lies in the Nagpur district of Maharashtra, 800 km from Mumbai and 280 km from Raipur — the orange city of the region, its Deekshabhoomi, the temples and the lakes set on the Deccan's geographic centre.

History & culture

The city's story runs with the 1743 Bhonsle founding — the city of the Bhonsle dynasty and the Zero Milestone of the country's geographic centre, with the city's modern role as the tiger-gate of the Maharashtra and the home of the 1956 Deekshabhoomi (the Buddhist conversion site) and the Futala lake; the city's history of the orange trade and the British-era Nagpur province, gives the city its orange-city character.
