Raisen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raisen is a town in Madhya Pradesh state of central India. It is the administrative headquarters of Raisen District. Raisen takes its name from massive Fort. This fort is built on a sandstone hill, at the foot of which settles the town. The name is probably a corruption of Rajavasini or Rajasayan, the royal residence.

Before India's independence in 1947, Raisen was part of the Princely state of Bhopal. After indian independence, it, along with most of the Bhopal princely state, became part of the new Bhopal state of India, which was merged into Madhya Pradesh on November 1, 1956.
