Bahraich

▪ India
      city, east-central Uttar Pradesh state, northern India, located on a tributary of the Ghaghara River (Ghāghara River) and on a rail line between Lucknow and Nepalganj (Nepālganj), Nepal. Bahraich is a centre of trade (agricultural products and timber) with Nepal; there is also some sugar processing. The tomb of Sayyid Sālār Masʿūd, an Afghan warrior-saint who died there in 1033, is visited by Muslim and Hindu pilgrims.

      The area's history is little known before Sayyid Sālār Masʿūd's invasion in 1033. It subsequently changed hands several times before becoming part of British India. The ruins of a Buddhist monastery are located west of the city. The surrounding agricultural region produces rice, corn (maize), wheat, and gram (chickpeas). Pop. (2001) 168,323.
