Chandrapur - Train station in Chandrapur - Chandrapur, India

There are many Stone Age sites in Chandrapur District. Suresh Chopane, a renowned researcher, found many stone-age tools in the district, which has been displayed in his Rock Museum. Archeological finds, such as signs of pottery making, suggest inhabitation of the Chandrapur area in Neolithic times.[3] From ancient times, Chandrapur has fallen under the control of many different rulers. Between 322 BCE and 187 BCE, much of India, including Maharashtra, was part of the Maurya Empire.[4] From 187 BCE to 78 BCE, Chandrapur was part of the Shunga Empire which controlled much of central and eastern India.[5] The Satavahana Empire controlled Chandrapur from the 1st century BCE to the 2nd century CE.[6] The Vakataka dynasty ruled from the area from the mid 3rd century CE to 550 CE.[7] The Kalachuri dynasty ruled in the area in the 6th and 7th centuries CE.[8] The Rashtrakuta dynasty followed, controlling the Chandrapur region between the 7th and 10th centuries. The Chalukya dynasty ruled in the region to the 12th century CE.[9] The Seuna (Yadava) dynasty of Devagiri ruled a kingdom, including the Chandrapur area, in approximately 850 CE and continued until 1334 CE.[10] The Gond people are part of the Adivasi (indigenous people) of India. In ancient times, the Gond diaspora spread throughout central India. After the passage of many kings, who were largely subservient to other rulers, the Gond king, Khandkya Ballal (1470 - 1495) came to the throne. He founded Chandrapur.[11] As per legends, Khandkya, who resided in Sirpur, was covered in tumours. His wise and beautiful wife nursed him. She asked him to leave Sirpur and move to the north bank of the Wardha River. There, the king built a fort he named "Ballalpur" and thus founded the city of Ballarpur. In the year of 1262, one day while hunting northwest of Ballalpur, the king became thirsty and rode up to the dry bed of the Jharpat river in search of water. He discovered water trickling from a hole, and after drinking, washed his face, hands and feet. That night, he slept soundly for the first time in his life. On his return, the queen was delighted to see that many of the tumours on her husband's body had disappeared. The king said it was the water that had cured him and took his wife to see the water hole. On clearing the grass and sand, they found five footprints of a cow in the solid rock, each filled with water. The water source at the spot was inexhaustible and considered holy. The place was called "Tirtha of Acalesvar of the Treta Yuga". When the king bathed in the water, all the tumours on his body vanished. That night at the water hole, Acalesvar appeared to the king in a dream and spoke comforting words. A temple was built over the water hole.

Nice place but pollution is more due to industrialization. Other tourist places near Chandrapur is also beautiful.

The station is ok but needs regular maintenance and the passenger's comfort should be taken care of!! Recently the developments have been commendable, the nearness is increasing and the Super Fast trains that used to not stop at this station are Halting here, which is also necessary as Chandrapur is a important district with people from all over India. And is in one of the most Important railway routes of the country, so connectivity here should be prime. Anyways, the more development work is done the better!! The more safer and comfortable the journey becomes, the better.
