Chhattisgarh
Chhattisgarh in central India was split off from Madhya Pradesh and established as a state in its own right in 2000. Its capital is Raipur, a major steel manufacturing town.
Chhattisgarh has so far been spared the mass tourist onslaught, but it is crammed with minor gems. It’s a paradise for nature lovers, with three national parks, a dozen of nature reserves and numerous rivers and waterfalls.
It is also home to many tribal communities (about 40 of them) that have preserved and developed their ancestral crafts and now export them worldwide. Examples are the arts of tumba and dhokra. Bastar is a major tribal crafts centre. There are fascinating ancient monuments at Sirpur and Rajim.
