SewneePostal Covers & Pre-1854 Postal History
Seoni (the Sewnee of early records) is a town on the Satpura plateau of southern Madhya Pradesh, a forest and market town of the highlands between the Narmada and the Deccan, celebrated as a setting of Kipling's Jungle Book. It lay on the routes across the central uplands. In the era of the Company's Central India posts it served as a mail town, and its pre-1854 markings trace the posts of the Satpura country.
