Durg district

Durg district is an administrative region in Chhattisgarh located in eastern India, covering approximately 2,238 square kilometers. The area combines urban centers with agricultural zones and is traversed by the Shivnath River.

The name comes from a medieval fort that served as the seat of Kalachuri kings for centuries. In 1741, Maratha forces from Nagpur captured the fort, marking a shift in the region's political rule.

The district is home to temples like Ganga Maiyaat Jhalmala and Uwasaggaharam Parshwa Teerth near Nagpura, where religious ceremonies take place regularly throughout the year. These sacred sites shape the spiritual life of the community and draw worshippers from surrounding areas.

Visitors can access government services and local information through the district administration's online platform. Documentation, permits, and administrative resources are available through a centralized digital system for residents and travelers.

The district contains the Bhilai Steel Plant, one of India's largest steel production facilities. The factory shapes the economic life of the region and remains a major contributor to the country's industrial sector.
