'''Vidisha District''' (विदिशा) is in [[Madhya Pradesh]] state, in central [[India]]. The city of [[Vidisha]] is the administrative headquarters of the district.

==Geography==
The district is bounded by the districts of [[Ashoknagar District|Ashoknagar]] to the northeast, [[Sagar District|Sagar]] to the east, [[Raisen District|Raisen]] to the south, [[Bhopal District|Bhopal]] to the southwest, and [[Guna District|Guna]] to the northwest.<ref name=mp>{{cite web|url = http://www.mponline.in/Profile/districts/Vidisha.asp
| title = Vidisha |publisher =mponline |access-date = 2010-08-19 }}</ref>

Vidisha district lies on the Vindhyachal Plateau off the main [[Vindhya Range|Vindhyachal Range]]. The plateau slopes from south to north and is drained by a number of rivers – the [[Betwa River|Betwa]], the Bina and the [[Sindh River|Sindh]]. These rivers flow between spur fanges of the Vindhyachal Range, that spread out on the [[Malwa|Malwa Plateau]].<ref name=admin>{{cite web|url = http://www.vidisha.nic.in/ | title =Vidisha |publisher = District administration|access-date = 2010-08-19 }}</ref>

The district lies between 230 20’ and 240 22' north latitudes, and 77016’ and 78018’ east longitudes. It covers an area of 7,371 km2.<ref name=admin/>

The district is home to the historic city of [[Besnagar]] and the [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] [[stupa]] at [[Sanchi]].<ref name=mp/>

==History==
The district was created as "Bhilsa District" in 1904 by joining the tehsils of [[Vidisha]] (also known as Bhilsa) and Basoda, but not Basoda State, which were then part of [[Gwalior]] state. After India's independence in 1947, the former princely state of Gwalior became part of [[Madhya Bharat]] state, which was formed in 1948. The Bhilsa District was enlarged in 1949 by the addition of the small princely state of [[Kurwai State]]. The district took its present form in 1956, when [[Madhya Bharat]] state, [[Bhopal State (1949–56)|Bhopal State]], and the [[tehsil]] of [[Sironj]], then part of [[Rajasthan]] state and previously part of the princely state of [[Tonk State|Tonk]], were both merged into Madhya Pradesh state. Sironj tehsil and the small [[pargana]] of Piklone from [[Bhopal state]] were merged into Vidisha District.<ref name=admin/>
