Varanasi division, Administrative division in Uttar Pradesh, India
Varanasi division encompasses four districts - Varanasi, Jaunpur, Ghazipur, and Chandauli - covering a substantial territory in eastern Uttar Pradesh.
The territory became part of British administration in 1775, when the region was structured into Benares Division with four districts under colonial governance.
The division contains numerous temples, educational institutions, and religious sites along the Ganges River, making it central to Hindu spiritual practices.
The administrative structure includes a Divisional Commissioner who manages local government institutions, infrastructure development, and maintains regional order across all districts.
The division houses 1,360 villages across its districts, where residents primarily communicate in Hindi and Bhojpuri languages.
