Dabra (Hindi: डबरा) is a town and municipality in Gwalior district in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India located near National Highway 44 (NH-44). It is known for its cascading landscape and production of dhaan, a type of rice. It serves as the headquarters for both a tehsil and a coterminous community development block. Dabra is the largest municipality in Madhya Pradesh, with the Sind River located 5 km (3 mi) away. Sonagir, a Jain pilgrimage, and Datia, an ancient town, are located 16 km (10 mi) and 32 km (20 mi) from Dabra respectively. Other nearby places of interest are the Temple of Bamrauli Hanuman Ji, the Dhumeshwar Mahadev Temple, the Baba Thakur Temple, the Vankhandeshwar Mahadev Mandir and the tomb of Pir Baba. Abul Fazal, one of Akbar's navratnas (nine gems), on the behest of Jahangir by Vir Singh Deo, raja of Orchha, was killed and buried in a tomb at Antri (31 km (19 mi) from Dabra towards Gwalior). Navagraha Temple (also known as Navgrah Mandir or Navgrah Shakti Peeth) is a prominent modern Hindu temple dedicated to the Navagraha (nine celestial bodies/planets). Claimed to be Asia's largest Navagraha temple, it spans over 12 acres and features idols of all nine planets along with their consorts, a unique feature. The temple incorporates Dravidian architecture coupled with Vastu Shastra and Jyotish principles, established on the sacred number 108. It serves as a major pilgrimage site for devotees seeking astrological remedies, planetary peace, and spiritual solace. The Pran Pratishtha (consecration) was held in February 2026. It is located near Magrora in Dabra, therefore increasing its accessibility and growth in attraction alongside other local temples.
