Narmada district

Narmada is an administrative district in Gujarat that spans several smaller administrative units, including Dediapada, Nandod, Tilakwada, Sagbara, and Garudeshwar. Rajpipla serves as the administrative center and is known for its high literacy rate of around 97 percent.

The main town Rajpipla was previously known as Nandipuri and served as an important center during the reign of Gurjara kings. The region played a central role in the Lata kingdom and shaped the historical development of the area.

The district is deeply connected to the Narmada River, which shapes daily life, farming, and religious practices for local residents. This bond appears in local customs and how people integrate the river into their everyday routines.

Visitors will find good accessibility in Rajpipla and surrounding towns with developed infrastructure. The best time to visit is from October to March, when the weather is pleasant and the landscape is green.

The name Rajpipla comes from the Bhil community, who named a ruler after he built his residence beneath a pipal tree. This origin reveals how local groups shaped the history of the place.
