MIRZAPUR

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 577 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MIC-MOL
MIRZAPUR , a city and
district
  of British India, in the Benares division of the United Provinces. The city is on the right bank of the Ganges; a station on the
East
  Indian railway, about half-way between
Allahabad
  and Benares, 509 M. N.W. from Calcutta. Pop. (1901), 79,862. The river front, lined with stone ghats or flights of stairs, mosques, Hindu temples and dwelling-houses of the wealthier merchants, is handsome; but the interior of the town is mainly composed of mud huts. Formerly it was the emporium of
trade
  between central India and Bengal, which has now been diverted to the railways. It has European and native lace factories, and manufactures brass vessels and woollen carpets. The London Mission manages a high school and an orphanage. The municipal limits include the town of Bind-hachal, an important centre of
pilgrimage
 , with the shrine of Vindhyeshwari.
The
DISTRICT
  OF MIRZAPUR extends into the Sone valley. Area, 5238 sq. m. It is crossed from
east
  to west by the
Vindhya
  and Kaimur ranges. A central jungly
plateau
  connects these and separates the valley of the Ganges from that of the Sone. The part north of the Vindhyas is highly cultivated and thickly peopled, but the rest of the district consists largely of ravines and forests with a sparse population. The population in 1901 was 1,082,430, showing a decrease of 6.8 % in the decade. The district comprises a large part of the hereditary domains of the raja of. Benares, which are revenue-free. It is traversed, near the Ganges, by the main line of the East Indian railway. The
Great
  Southern road used to start from the city.
