Nagpur's Story of Evolution

About the walk

Every city has its own story. The kingdom of Nagpur was founded by the Gond rulers of Deogarh, and later came under the rule of the Nagpur Bhonsles. The empire of the Nagpur Bhonsles covered the east of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and parts of Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand. Later, under British rule, Nagpur became the capital of the Central Provinces and Berar.

The core of the old city has many heritage structures belonging to the Gond and Bhonsle periods. Let us walk back in the time through the places that have witnessed the evolution of Nagpur, and listen to the stories of its people.
