Datia, Historical city in Datia district, Madhya Pradesh, India

Located 420 meters above sea level, Datia extends across the northern region of Madhya Pradesh, 71 kilometers from the city of Gwalior.

The Bundela Rajputs established Datia State in 1626, which remained an independent principality until its integration into Madhya Pradesh after India gained independence.

The seven-story palace built by Raja Vir Singh Deo in 1614 represents the architectural traditions of North India, combining Hindu construction techniques.

The city maintains direct transportation links to major urban centers, with regular bus services and train connections at the railway station 3 kilometers from downtown.

The Pitambara Peeth temple near the city entrance serves as a significant Shakta pitha, drawing visitors interested in religious practices and architectural heritage.
