Ratlam district

Ratlam is an administrative district in Madhya Pradesh comprising nine administrative divisions and numerous rural settlements spread across the region. It functions as a key administrative center within the Ujjain division of the state.

The district was established following India's independence through the merger of former princely states of Ratlam and Sailana. This consolidation shaped its present administrative structure and boundaries.

The local population speaks Malvi, Hindi, Bhili, and Urdu in daily life, creating a linguistically diverse environment visible in markets and public spaces. This language mix reflects how different communities coexist and interact throughout the region.

The district has a well-developed network of roads and railways linking it to major cities throughout Madhya Pradesh and surrounding regions. This connectivity makes travel to different locations within and beyond the area straightforward.

The Sailana region contains a dedicated cactus garden and the Kharmor Bird Sanctuary where many bird species can be observed. These locations appeal to visitors interested in nature and wildlife.
