Farrukhabad district

Farrukhabad district is an administrative region in northern India composed of three subdivisions and encompassing around a thousand villages. The territory extends across several hundred square kilometers and connects rural settlements with smaller urban centers.

The district was founded in 1714 by Muhammad Khan Bangash after he provided military support to the Mughal dynasty. This founding led to the development of an important administrative center with its own mint.

The region is known for its traditional embroidery, where artisans work with gold and silver threads in intricate patterns. This old craft tradition shapes the daily life and local identity to this day.

Two railway stations and several highways connect the district with larger cities in the region. An additional airstrip enables regional connections for travelers seeking faster arrival.

The district holds a special place in classical Indian music history, as a distinctive tabla playing style originated here. This musical tradition with characteristic rhythm patterns influenced percussion traditions across India.
