Bastar district, Administrative district in Chhattisgarh, India
Bastar district spans across 6,597 square kilometers of diverse terrain, encompassing dense forests, rolling hills, and numerous rivers in southern Chhattisgarh.
The district emerged from a princely state that joined India in 1947 and later became part of Chhattisgarh state in 2000 after separating from Madhya Pradesh.
The district population includes Gond, Abhuj Maria, and Bhatra tribes, who maintain their traditional practices, languages, and distinctive metal crafting techniques.
