Malwa, Historical region in west-central India
Malwa is a region in west-central India that spreads across western Madhya Pradesh and southeastern Rajasthan. The area sits as a volcanic plateau north of the Vindhya Range and features rich black soil throughout.
The territory emerged as an independent state with its capital at Mandu around 1401 and underwent major changes over time. By 1861 it became part of the British Central Provinces, marking a shift in political control.
The region blends elements from Rajasthani, Marathi, and Gujarati traditions that shape how people live and express themselves today. Malvi is the language spoken here, and it gives the area its own identity.
The region is shaped by agriculture that produces cotton, wheat, corn, gram, sugarcane, and peanuts across its landscape. Visitors will see extensive farmland and rural settlements that reflect the economic backbone of the area.
The area holds significant deposits of manganese, copper, bauxite, limestone, zinc, and graphite that support various industries. These mineral resources shape the economic profile alongside farming activities.
