Maharajganj district, Administrative district in Gorakhpur division, India
Maharajganj district extends across fertile plains near the Nepal border, with rivers Gandak, Rapti, and Rohin flowing through its territory.
The district emerged from Gorakhpur district on October 2, 1989, marking a significant administrative change in the Uttar Pradesh state structure.
