Chandauli district

Chandauli is an administrative district in Varanasi division that serves the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh, with Chandauli town as its administrative center. The region supports an agricultural economy and is connected by regional roads and railway stations that link it to surrounding areas.

The district was formed on May 20, 1997, when Varanasi district was divided to improve local administration and regional development. This reorganization aimed to create a more manageable administrative structure for the growing population.

Hindi dominates daily life across these communities, though Bhojpuri remains strongly spoken in conversations and local interactions. Traditional customs shape how residents gather and celebrate throughout the year in villages and towns.

The district is linked to major centers through Chandauli Majhwar railway station and regional roads, making travel between towns straightforward. Visitors should plan for rural roads and allow extra time when moving across the region.

The Chandraprabha Sanctuary contains two striking waterfalls called Devdari and Rajdari that draw visitors seeking natural settings within this farming region. These spots offer a refreshing contrast to the surrounding agricultural landscape.
