Mungpur is a small town in the northern Indian state of Chhattisgarh, part of the Mungpur district, located about 350 kilometers north of the capital city of Raipur and adjacent to the Jharkhand border. The town is a predominantly agricultural town, producing rice, wheat and mixed grains, and is surrounded by extensive farmland and sparse forests. The local population is mostly Hindu and traditional festivals such as Diwali and Holi are celebrated in a strong atmosphere, while the old temple in the center of the city is still a central place for religious activities. Although transportation is dependent on a network of highways connecting neighboring towns, the infrastructure has gradually improved in recent years, attracting a small amount of commerce from the surrounding area. Typical of small inland Indian towns, Merganpur retains the simplicity of village life and is a window into the culture and agro-ecology of the region.
