Nagpur to Bhutan

Nagpur or Nagpore is the third largest and also the third most industrialised city in Maharashtra. It has been nicknamed as the 'Orange City' for being a major trader of Nagpur oranges. The city plays host to a number of cultural events held by various societies throughout the year. The South Central Cultural Centre is a promoter for events like the Orange City Craft Mela and folk dance festival. Here, every year, the government of Maharashtra organises a week-long Kalidas Festival that is marked with folk song and dance performances. One of the major attractions of this city is the Nagpur Central Museum. Established in 1863, this museum, through a huge collection of pre-historic artefacts, gives a detailed insight into the glorious history of the place. The presence of a number of lakes greatly enhances the beauty of the city.
