The central states of Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh form the beautiful heart of India. Landscapes of undulating, forested hills, venerated winding rivers, and magnificent temples delight the eye. It is a land that tribal communities have husbanded for generations with their deep knowledge of the natural world.
