Shri Nathji graced the city on Jabalpur when He came here on invitation of His devotee Bhatt Sahib, who had become the Chief Justice of Madhya Pradesh High Court.

Jabalpur is one of the major cities of Madhya Pradesh state in India. It is the third largest urban agglomeration in Madhya Pradesh

Historically, a center of Kalchuri and Gond dynasties, Jabalpur developed a syncretic culture influenced by the intermittent reigns of the Maratha and Mughal empires. In the early nineteenth century, it was gradually annexed in British India as Jubbulpore and incorporated as a major cantonment town. Post-independence, there have been demands for a separate state of Mahakoshal with Jabalpur as its capital.

Jabalpur is known for its picturesque marble rock formations (Bhedaghat) across the banks of the river Narmada. - As seen the the photo above.
