The district extends across 1,633 square kilometers in northern India, divided into two separate sections: Kapurthala-Sultanpur Lodhi and Phagwara tehsil.

Before Indian independence, Kapurthala district developed under the leadership of Maharaja Jagatjit Singh, who introduced French architectural elements throughout the region.

The population distribution shows a majority of Sikhs at 55.66 percent and Hindus at 41.23 percent, with Punjabi spoken by 91 percent of residents.

The district features three administrative subdivisions: Kapurthala, Phagwara, and Sultanpur Lodhi, with Phagwara positioned along National Highway Number 1.

The Jagatjit Palace mirrors the design of France's Palace of Versailles, standing as a remarkable example of European architecture in northern India.
