On November 1, 2000 India gave a birth to a new
state Chattisgarh. The new state is Caved out of India's largest

Chattisgarh was mooted. The leaders whi took part in that meeting
were of view that the region of Chattishgarh was culturlly and Historically
district from the rest of Madhya pradesh.
The origin name of Chattisgarh is derived from the ancient dynasty
South Kaushal taht we later know as Chattisgarh. Haihyaranshi Kig
Kalchri rules this state from his capital Sarathpur( Sispur ) &
had twosos. His elder son Vir Singh Dev made his capital Ratanpur
& his other son Keshv Dev established his capital at Raipura
( Raipur State ). Fortunately Kolchuri Raja's both sons had eighteen
sons each had they divided teh state into eighteen parts each comprising
a " Garh " or " fort ". Thus there were eighteen
forts or garhs on each side i.e., north & south of river Shivnath.
