Madwas

Madwas lies in the uplands of eastern Baghelkhand, south of the Son River and west of the forested country of Sidhi. The region is part of the Vindhyan landscape of ridges and valleys between Rewa and the upper Son basin. Its villages stood within a wider country influenced by the Baghela rulers of Rewa, whose earlier seat was the fort of Bandhavgarh. Streams draining the uplands join the Son on its long course towards the Ganges.
