Khandwa

Khandwa stands in the Nimar country south of the Narmada, between the river valley and the Satpura hills. Streams from the surrounding uplands flow north toward the Narmada, while the Tapti runs through a valley beyond the southern hills. The town lies within a region whose routes connected northern India with the Deccan, and whose history was influenced by the greater centres of Nimar, including Burhanpur.
