Farrukhabad district, Administrative district in Kanpur division, India

Farrukhabad district spans 2,279 square kilometers across northern India, containing three subdivisions: Farrukhabad, Kaimganj, and Amritpur with 1020 villages.

Muhammad Khan Bangash established the district in 1714 following military support to the Mughal throne, leading to the creation of a prominent currency mint.

The district maintains a strong agricultural tradition with extensive potato cultivation, while local artisans practice traditional Zardozi embroidery techniques.

Two railway stations and multiple highways connect the district to major urban centers, with an additional airstrip located in Mohammadabad for regional transportation.

The Farrukhabad school of tabla playing emerged from this district, developing specific rhythmic patterns that influenced classical Indian percussion music.
