About
About Jabalpur
Jabalpur, formerly anglicised as Jubbulpore, is the fourth largest city by area of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. It is situated on the banks of the Narmada River in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India.
The Narmada River valley is famous for its Marble Rocks, a unique formation where the whole river flows for nearly 2 kilometers between varied coloured and tinted marble rocks with a deep water fall. Pleasure resort and capital of the Gond Kings during the 12th century, Jabalpur was later the seat of the Kalchuri dynasty. The Marathas held sway over Jabalpur until 1817, when the British wrested it from them and left their impression on the spacious cantonment with its colonial residences and barracks.
