Kanpur, Industrial metropolis in Uttar Pradesh, India.
Located between the Ganges and Yamuna rivers, Kanpur extends across fertile plains with extensive industrial zones and commercial districts in northern India.
The British East India Company transformed Kanpur from a small village into a military garrison and trading post following the Treaty of Banaras in 1773.
The Ganga Mela festival, celebrated five days after Holi, brings thousands of participants to the Ganges River for traditional ceremonies and performances.
The Kanpur Central Railway Station connects to major Indian cities, while the new Metro system provides rapid transit within the urban area.
The city maintains its position as India's leather capital, with numerous tanneries producing goods for international markets.
