Bhadohi is an administrative district in Uttar Pradesh positioned between two major urban centers and composed of numerous villages spread across the landscape. The territory is divided into distinct administrative subdivisions that organize settlements and land across the region.
The district was created in 1994 through the division of a larger administrative region and was initially named after a revered historical saint. This reorganization formed one of the smaller districts in the state.
