Indore division, Administrative division in western Madhya Pradesh, India
Indore Division is an administrative region in western Madhya Pradesh containing eight districts: Alirajpur, Barwani, Burhanpur, Dhar, Indore, Jhabua, Khandwa, and Khargone. These districts together cover a large territory in central India with varying geographical characteristics.
This administrative region was formed in 1956 when Indian states were reorganized, emerging from the former state of Madhya Bharat. That reorganization established the current administrative structure and geographical boundaries we see today.
The population across this area speaks Hindi, Malvi, and Marathi in their daily lives, with each district holding its own local customs and ways of living. This linguistic diversity shapes how communities interact and celebrate their traditions throughout the region.
The region is connected by an extensive road network linking all the districts together, making travel between different areas possible. Journey times vary depending on which district you are heading to within this spread-out area.
The administrative headquarters known as Moti Bunglow sits in Indore city, managing activities across a region that spans hundreds of kilometers. This single center coordinates governance for all eight districts from one location.
