Welcome to Chhattisgarh - a spectacular tribal territory cloaked in forests. In fact more than 44 % of Chhattisgarh land is covered with dense green undergrowth. A window into India's brilliant cultural treasures - Chhattisgarh is home to tribes such as Gonds, Muria, Halba, Maria et al.

Origin of the term Chhattisgarh is shrouded in mystery. Historians have forwarded several theories: one states that there were 36 forts in the region and hence the name, though no traces of 36 forts have been found. Another explanation is that during the rule of the ancient king Jarasandha, 36 tribal families migrated to this region and created a settlement and thus the term Chhattisgarh.

Set on Satpura ranges on the banks of River Mahanadi, Chhattisgarh was carved out of Madhya Pradesh, India on November 1^st in the year 2000. According to historians Chhattisgarh has a history traceable to the Stone Age.
