Strategically placed in the centre of the country and with a population of around 2,500,000 Nagpur is one of the largest cities in central India. Along with its many natural and man made lakes, Nagpur is well known for its luscious greenery and was actually judged to be the cleanest and second greenest City in India after Bangalore. Nagpur is also famous for being known as orange City, as it is a major trade centre for oranges that are transported and distributed around the world. Besides the many ancient temples that are scattered around the area, Nagpur has water sports in Dhapewada, Forts and natural wildlife sanctuaries in Nagardhan and its own beautiful Dams to visit.
The city is a centre of the Marathi language and culture. It is also a major centre of dalit Buddhism and hosts the Deekshabhoomi which is the world’s largest hollow stupa (dome shaped Buddhist reliquary). The city is also an important Hindu religious centre and there is a significant Muslim population. In fact, the city is well-known of being one of the most socially integrated in India with a low level of inter-faith tension.
The city also boasts the largest industrial complex in all Asia in terms of area – this is the Butibori industrial area. The largest manufacturer in this area is Rama Synthetics who make polyester yarn.
Being at the centre of India it is not surprising to find that India’s two most important highways meet in the city. These are NH7 which goes from Kanyakumari to Varanasi and NH 6 which goes from Kolkata to Hajira. This highway is being supplemented by the construction of a new super highway joining the city to Aurangabad and Mumbai.
The city is also a major railway hub as, again, being at the centre, major rail lines intersect East-West and North-South linking every major city in India.
Once in the city getting from place to place will involve hiring an auto-rickshaw. These are ideal for weaving in and out of the city’s traffic and reaching places ordinary automobiles cannot reach.
