Jaunpur, Historical city in Uttar Pradesh, India.
The city stands on the banks of the Gomti River, surrounded by fertile agricultural plains that support rice, corn, and sugarcane cultivation.
Sultan Firuz Shah Tughlaq established Jaunpur in 1359, naming it after his cousin Muhammad bin Tughluq, who held the title Jauna Khan.
The Atala Masjid, built in 1408, displays architectural elements combining Persian designs with local Indian construction techniques and stone craftsmanship.
Jaunpur Junction railway station connects the city to major destinations including Varanasi, Lucknow, and New Delhi through regular train services.
The Shahi Bridge, constructed in 1564 during Akbar's reign, contains small merchant spaces within its pillars along the entire span across Gomti River.
