Sitapur

Sitapur lies in the Surguja uplands, between the Mand River and the hills rising towards Mainpat. The neighbouring plateau has steep edges and streams that feed the Mand and Rihand systems. The wider country formed part of Surguja, a domain of wooded ridges, high tablelands and valleys on the northern edge of the Chhattisgarh plain. These uplands connect the river country around Sitapur with the forested approaches to the Chotanagpur plateau.
