Area Overview
What makes Shatabdi Puram special
Two rows on this sheet share this root: “Shatabdi Puram” and “Shatabdi Puram Colony”, both in the Morar zone. They are NOT merged here.
THE RULE THIS PROJECT APPLIES IS THAT A COLONY MOST OFTEN SITS INSIDE THE LARGER AREA IT IS NAMED AFTER — a real distinction that merging would hide. The Kota sheet had the same pattern with Durga Colony and Durga Nagar, and with the three-way Riddhi Siddhi group.
IT NEEDS THE RECORD TO SETTLE. “KUNJ VIHAR” AND “KUNJ VIHAR COLONY” on this same sheet are the second instance, so Gwalior carries the pattern twice.
