    Shivpuri District is a district of Madhya Pradesh state of India. The town of Shivpuri is the district headquarters.

    National High-
    way 3 (NH-3) runs through the district.[1]

    History[edit]
    Most of present-day Shivpuri District formed Narwar District of the erstwhile princely state of Gwalior, with Shivpuri as adminis-
    trative headquarters of the district. After India's independence in 1947, the princely states acceded to the Government of India,
    and Shivpuri District acquired its present boundaries with the addition of the small princely state of Khaniadhana in the south-
    east of the district, portions of Datia state in the northeast, and most of Pauri estate in the northwest. Shivpuri District became
    part of the new state of Madhya Bharat, which was merged into Madhya Pradesh in 1956.

    Geography[edit]
    The district is bounded on the south by Ashoknagar and Guna districts, on the north by Morena, Gwalior and Datia districts, on
    the east by Jhansi district of Uttar Pradesh and on the west by Kota district of Rajasthan.[1]
    The district sits on the Malwa Plateau of the Deccan Traps with many small hill tops originally covered with deciduous forests.[1]
    [2]
    Other than Shivpuri, the major towns are Karera and Akoda (24°52′07″N 77°11′22″E).
    The large bodies of water in the district are the Madikheda Reservoir and the Mohini Pickup Reservoir near Narwar. The princi-
    ple river is the Sind River which arises in southern Badarwas Tehsil, flows north-northeastwards through the central and north-
    eastern parts of the district and enters the Yamuna at Kanjausa. The district drainage is all within the large Yamuna basin, but
    falls into four sub-basins drained respectively by tributaries of (1) the Parwati River (Parvati) which flows west to east and forms
    part of the northern boundary of the district being dammed for the Kaketo Reservoir and Harsi Reservoir[3] and flowing into the
    Sind just upstream of the mouth of the Mahuar; (2) the Kuno River which flows from southeast to northwest into the Cham-
    bal and forms part of the western boundary of the district; (3) the Betwa River which flows from southwest to northeast and
    forms part of the eastern boundary of the district; and (4) the Mahuar River itself (with its main tributary the Paroch Nadi) which
    arises in Pichor Tehsil, flows from south to north, enters Karera Tehsil at the village of Bardi, crosses Narwar Tehsil and enters
    the Sind just northeast (downstream) of Senhra Khurd.[4]

    Administrative divisions[edit]
    Shivpuri District is divided into eight tehsils, and further subdivided into 614 panchayats and 1459 villages (of which 1409 are
    revenue villages, 133 are deserted and 15 are forest villages).[5]
