"From Colonial Zero Mile to Karaundi's Ashoka Pillar – Tracing the Shifting Geographical Heart of Independent Modern India"

Geographical Centre of Historic and Modern India
Nagpur is historically known as the geographical centre of India, marked by the iconic Zero Mile Stone. Erected by the British, this sandstone monument features a pillar and four majestic horses, and was used to measure distances across colonial India. The pillar has carvings of distances to major cities, reinforcing Nagpur’s central importance.
