Nagpur is the third largest city in Maharashtra and is a city of cultural and political prominence. Going by the sobriquet, The City of Oranges, Nagpur is located right at the geographical centre of India and is home to the zero milestones in the country.

Nagpur has a long and fascinating history with the earliest ruins being found belonging to the 8th century BCE, indicating a megalithic culture that existed in the city which is still followed. The name Nagpur can be found in a 10th-century inscription at the Devali.

Now, Nagpur is Maharashtra’s greenest and second most technologically advanced state. It is the host of the winter session of the state assembly of Maharashtra and has great political prominence. 

Other than that, Nagpur is an important city in the banking sector being home to the Reserve Bank of India branch that holds the country’s entire gold assets. It is also the manufacturing hub of some of the biggest names in the food and beverage industry, like Haldirams and Suruchi.

While it has a lot of things going for it, its climate is something that is not enviable by any means. It has harsh climatic conditions with extremely hot summers and very cold winters with temperatures varying between 10C and 40C throughout the year, causing discomfort among the citizens who live there.
