Can we just leave the oranges aside? There’s more to Nagpur than the citrus giant. Yes! It is also called as the ‘Tiger Capital of India’ since it connects many Tiger Reserves. Also, the state of Maharashtra holds the 3rd highest place with population of Tigers. If you haven’t really paid much attention to your city up until now, TLN will shake things up for you a tad bit. We bring you some fascinating trivia about the city whose human existence is about 3000 years old. Did you know the name Nagpur appears in the 10th century copper-plate inscription discovered at Devali in Wardha district.

Let’s dive straight into the facts now:
