Nimar

Nimar / Nimad is the southwestern region of Madhya Pradesh state in west-central India.

The Ain-i-Akbari, a significant historical document, makes reference to Khargao, a Mahal (Palace) located in Bijagarh, Nimar.

As we progress into the fifteenth century, it becomes apparent that numerous Gawli or Ahir/Yadav chiefs took initiative in establishing small municipalities in southern Nimar, which notably included the Bijagarh fort.

The staple crops were cotton and millet; ganja or Indian hemp was also allowed to be grown under government supervision.

The Great Indian Peninsula railway ran through the district, and a branch of the Rajputana line from Indore joined it at Khandwa.
