Barabanki district, Administrative district in Ayodhya division, India.

Located between the Ghaghra and Gomti rivers, Barabanki district spans 3891.5 square kilometers at an elevation of 125 meters above sea level.

The district, initially named Daryabad, received its current name Barabanki in 1859 when British authorities relocated the administrative center following the 1856 annexation.

The population of 3.26 million residents communicates primarily in Hindi with the Awadhi dialect, maintaining traditional agricultural practices across 1845 villages.

The district contains five sub-divisions and eleven development blocks, each managed by a Sub Divisional Magistrate for efficient local administration.

The Parijat tree in Kintoor, according to regional narratives, emerged from the ashes of Kunti, connecting the area to ancient Indian mythology.
