Civil Lines is Nagpur’s green, administrative quarter, laid out in the colonial era with wide avenues shaded by old trees, government buildings, the high court and large bungalows. It feels calm and spacious compared to the busy markets nearby, and its roads are a favourite for morning walks and cycling. For Myra members, Civil Lines offers some of the most peaceful settings in the city for a first meeting. Introductions here often include people from Sadar, Seminary Hills, Gittikhadan, Katol Road and Dharampeth. The Japanese Garden and the green slopes of Seminary Hills are close by, and they are lovely in the morning before the day warms up. Many members who live or work here prefer unhurried, conversational first dates, such as a walk followed by breakfast or tea. The neighbourhood is also home to the Vidhan Bhavan, where the Maharashtra legislature holds its winter session, and the area becomes busier during those weeks in December. Outside of that period, Civil Lines is one of the quietest and most pleasant parts of Nagpur, especially in the cooler months when walking outdoors is comfortable throughout the day.
