Chhattisgarh State largely consists of plateaus streaked with high range
of Satpuras in the North, the river Mahanadi and its tributaries in the
Central Plains and the Bastar Plateau in the South.
The Past (Hills) give rises to the main river systems- Mahanadi, Hasdo,
Sheonath and Indravati.
Intersected by these meandering rivers and dotted with hills and plateaus,
the state has varied natural settings of great beauty.
To the north of river Shivnath there were 18 garhs belonging to the Kalchuris
and to the South there were another 18 garhs belonging to the Kalchuris
of Raipur.
Hence, the total of these 36 Garhs (Forts) formed the basis of naming this
region as Chhattisgarh.

20' East.
