Rewa District

Rewa is an administrative district in Madhya Pradesh that covers a substantial area with diverse terrain. The Tons River flows through the region, creating natural boundaries and supporting various ecosystems throughout the district.

The area was once part of the Rewa kingdom established by the Baghel Rajputs around 1400, which ruled for several centuries. Following India's independence, it became an organized administrative district in 1950.

The local population primarily speaks Bagheli and Hindi in their daily lives. Traditional communities like the Gond and Kol people live in the hilly areas and maintain their customs within the district's social fabric.

The district provides essential services including banks, schools, and medical facilities scattered across various towns. Emergency assistance is available through dedicated helplines to help visitors with urgent needs.

The forests of Govindgarh became known after the first white tiger was spotted there in 1951, a rare occurrence in Indian wildlife. This discovery brought global attention to the region and its importance for protecting these exceptional animals.
