Meerut district, Administrative district in western Uttar Pradesh, India.
Meerut district is an administrative region in western Uttar Pradesh located about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northeast of New Delhi. It sits within the fertile Indo-Gangetic plains along the Ganges River and is divided into three administrative subdivisions.
The district was established in 1818 during British rule and became known as the starting point of the 1857 uprising against colonial authority. This revolt marked a turning point in India's struggle for independence and gave the region lasting significance in the country's modern history.
The annual Nauchandi Fair draws visitors to experience local crafts and performances rooted in regional traditions. What began as a cattle trading event has become an occasion for residents and travelers to see artisans at work and celebrate traditional skills.
The Nauchandi Fair typically takes place in April and offers the most colorful experience to visit this region. Planning your trip around this event allows you to see the crafts and performances that define the local culture.
This region is home to one of Asia's largest gold markets and serves as a major manufacturing hub for sports equipment. The combination of precious metals trading and sports production creates an unusual economic identity for the district.
