Bastar

The great forest between the Mahanadi plain and the Godavari: Gond, Halba, Maria and Muria peoples; a Chindaka Naga house at Chakrakota (Bastar) is known from stones of the eleventh and twelfth centuries.

The Kakatiyas of Warangal press from the south; Ratanpur from the north. The Chindaka Nagas are on the Bastar lord record; this record is for the peoples of the forest.
