Dewas district

Dewas is a district in the Ujjain division, spreading across the Malwa plateau in Madhya Pradesh. It is divided into several administrative sections, with the town of Dewas serving as its headquarters.

The district formed from two separate Maratha princely states founded by brothers in the 1700s, which were later consolidated under British rule. This merger shaped how the region developed into its current administrative form.

The district is known for its strong religious life, with temples and sacred sites scattered across towns and villages where people gather for festivals and daily worship.

The area is well connected by roads and railways to major cities, making it easy to travel between different towns. It is best to visit during cooler months when the weather is more comfortable.

The Kavadia Hills feature unusual basalt columns formed by ancient volcanic activity. These striking rock formations interest geology enthusiasts and those curious about natural landforms.
