Chhatarpur district

Chhatarpur is an administrative district in Madhya Pradesh that spans a large area in central India, bordered by several neighboring districts including those in Uttar Pradesh. The territory is divided into smaller administrative divisions that center on the main town.

The territory was founded in the 16th century by the Bundela Rajputs, who established a kingdom that later gave its name to the administrative region after Raja Chhatrasal. These origins continue to shape the area's history.

The local population speaks Bundeli, a language that shapes daily communication and cultural expression throughout the region's communities.

The district is administered from its main town, where local authorities coordinate public services and development projects for the surrounding region. Visitors will find administrative offices and local facilities that support daily operations across the territory.

Raneh Falls is a notable natural feature where water plunges through a narrow rocky gorge, creating a dramatic landscape within the district. The waterfall sits among temples and historic sites that reflect the region's spiritual heritage.
