Chandrapur, Commercial district in Maharashtra, India
Chandrapur rises along the Wardha River in eastern Maharashtra, surrounded by coal mines and thermal power stations that define its industrial character.
The city functioned as the capital of the Gond dynasty from the 12th to 18th century before the Maratha Bhonsles took control of the region.
The inhabitants of Chandrapur communicate in multiple languages, with Marathi as the primary language, followed by Hindi, Telugu, and the indigenous Gondi.
The Chandrapur Super Thermal Power Station generates electricity for Maharashtra while providing employment to thousands of local residents.
The city earned its nickname 'Black Gold City' due to the extensive coal seams that lie beneath its surface at the meeting point of Erai and Zarpat rivers.
