Burhanpur district

Burhanpur district is an administrative area in Madhya Pradesh that spans regions of the Satpura Range, with the Tapti River flowing through its terrain. These geographic features form natural boundaries and shape the character of the land.

During Mughal times, Burhanpur became an important military base and served temporarily as the capital of Khandesh province. This strategic role left lasting marks on the district's development and structure.

The people here speak Hindi, Marathi, and Urdu, and local festivals reflect traditions shared across different communities throughout the year. This language diversity shapes daily life and creates a colorful, multicultural environment.

The district connects to major cities via National Highway 53, with regular bus services connecting different parts of the area. A railway station in Burhanpur city makes train travel convenient for visitors arriving from other regions.

The Asirgarh fortress within the district controls a mountain pass through the Satpuras, linking northern and southern India. This pass through the mountains made the fortress strategically important for many centuries.
