Jhabua district

Jhabua is an administrative district in western Madhya Pradesh that covers hilly terrain, forests, and farmland across its region. The district headquarters in Jhabua town serves as the center for local government services and connects to other major cities.

The region came under British administration in 1817 as part of the Bhopawar Agency and became part of Madhya Pradesh state after independence. This transition shaped the modern administrative structure of the district.

The majority of the population belongs to tribal communities who continue their traditional craft work, including bamboo items and beaded jewelry made by hand. These crafts remain visible in local markets and workshops throughout the region.

The district has its administrative center in Jhabua town with schools, offices, and shops located at central points. The nearest major railway station at Meghnagar offers connections to other regions.

The village of Deojhiri holds an ancient temple with a year-round spring that draws visitors, especially during the Baisakh Poornima festival. This sacred site attracts people who seek its spiritual importance.
