Sultanpur district, Administrative district in Ayodhya division, India

Located on the banks of the Gomti River, Sultanpur district spans 2,672 square kilometers of agricultural plains in Uttar Pradesh state.

The district underwent administrative changes during the rule of Nawab Saadat Ali Khan II, transforming from multiple mahals into a centralized nizamat system.

The district maintains strong linguistic diversity with Hindi spoken by 70 percent of residents, while Awadhi and Urdu serve as secondary languages.

The territory divides into five administrative tehsils: Sultanpur Sadar, Kadipur, Lambhua, Baldirai, and Jaisinghpur, containing 1,727 villages across the region.

Local legends associate the area with Kusa, son of Hindu deity Ram, and claim Buddha spent six months teaching in the ancient settlement of Kusapura.
