Bhadohi district

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.

The district honors Sant Ravidas, a medieval poet and saint whose legacy shapes local celebrations and daily life throughout the region. His spiritual influence remains visible in how communities gather for festivals and in the way people speak about their shared heritage.

The area is best explored with a map or local guidance since it consists of many scattered settlements across the landscape. Accessibility varies between different villages, so it helps to plan which locations you want to visit ahead of time.

The region is world-famous for hand-woven carpet manufacturing, a craft maintained by local communities across generations. This tradition has brought international recognition to the area and draws visitors interested in traditional textile arts.
