Chronicles of Nagpur
Nagpur was founded in the early 18th century by the Gond king Bakht Buland Shah, and later became the capital of the Bhonsle Maratha rulers. The British developed it as a major cotton-trading hub, earning it the nickname 'Orange City' for the surrounding groves. After Indian independence, Nagpur was the capital of Madhya Pradesh until 1956, then joined Maharashtra. Today it’s a fast-growing commercial and logistics centre, still known for its oranges and as the meeting point of India's geographical centre.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to ITI Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Rooms near the service entrance or the bar area might be noisier due to the constant flow of staff and occasional loud music.
