IPUMS-DHS includes harmonized geography across all the India surveys.

If you use IPUMS-DHS, I'd recommend clicking on "Select Samples" to limit the interface to just the India surveys. The Indian integrated geography variable is GEO_IA1992_2015. You will find it under Topics -> Geography -> Integrated Geography.

Since you've started with the regular DHS files, you'll probably want to change the default to see the original DHS variable names in IPUMS-DHS. This option is in the upper right corner of the variable discovery screen:

index.php?t=getfile&id=888&private=0

Good luck with your research.
