Bareilly division

Bareilly division is an administrative region in western Uttar Pradesh comprising four districts: Bareilly, Budaun, Pilibhit, and Shahjahanpur. These districts connect through railway and road networks that link the main cities across the landscape.

The territory became a central point of resistance against British colonial rule during the 1857 uprising. This episode shaped local identity and remains rooted in the region's memory.

The region displays local craft traditions, religious structures, and active markets where textiles and handmade goods play a central role. These practices shape daily life and celebrations across the territory.

Travelers can move between the four main cities with ease thanks to distributed railway and bus connections. The best time to explore is outside the monsoon season, when journeys and visits are more comfortable.

Ahichatra in Aonla is believed to be the legendary capital of the ancient kingdom of Uttara-Panchala. According to local tradition and the Mahabharata, it was a notable center of early civilization in the region.
