Rewa

Rewa is a city in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. It is the administrative headquarters of Rewa district and is part of the Baghelkhand region in the eastern portion of the state.

Historically, Rewa served as the capital of the princely state of Rewa, ruled by the Baghel dynasty, until India's independence and the accession of the state to the Union in 1948.

Landmarks in the city include Rewa Fort and Govindgarh Palace, a historic royal residence that is now a tourist site. The area is associated with the white tiger Mohan, widely cited as the first white tiger captured in captivity in India, a story that figures prominently in the local wildlife history.

The local economy centers on agriculture, trade, and small-scale industry, with crops such as rice, pulses, and sugarcane being important to the surrounding plains. The city also serves as a regional commercial hub for neighboring towns.

Rewa is connected by rail and road to major cities in Madhya Pradesh and neighboring states, helping to support commerce and travel in the region. The city hosts educational institutions and cultural activities that reflect the traditions of the Baghelkhand region.
