NAGPUR FACTS

By Sambit Ray

 



Because of its extensive history and 3000-year-old connection to orange crops, Nagpur is also known as the Orange City. 

The city has a lot of historical associations in addition to being located in the geographic centre of India.
          

The Hindu epic Ramayana claims that Lord Rama constructed a lovely hut to rest at a location not far from modern-day Nagpur, and it was there that he swore to exterminate all demons from the universe. 
Many years later, a poet by the name of Kalidas created his masterpiece, the poem Meghduta. 
Near Nagpur, at a location known as Ramtek, there is a temple dedicated to Lord Ram's vow as well as a "Smarak" (monument) to designate the spot.
