Banda district, Administrative district in Chitrakoot division, India
Banda district spans 4,413 square kilometers in Uttar Pradesh, featuring irregular uplands and rock outcrops intersected by the Baghein, Ken, and Yamuna rivers.
The district underwent territorial changes in 1998 when the tehsils of Karwi and Mau separated to establish the new Chitrakoot District.
Languages in the district include Hindi as the primary language at 95.81 percent, with regional variations of Bundeli in south and Awadhi in north.
The district contains five administrative divisions called Tahsils: Banda, Naraini, Baberu, Pailani, and Atarra, each managing local governance responsibilities.
Local artisans extract and process Shajar stones, which are specifically used in jewelry manufacturing throughout the district.
