In India, many cities are known by special names because of their history, culture or traditions. Some places are famous for their temples, festivals or unique charms. In Uttar Pradesh, there is one city that is called the “City of Widows.” This name is linked to the lives of many women who live there. But why is this city known by this name? Let’s find out.
Uttar Pradesh is a state in northern India and the most populated state in the country, with over 241 million people. It has more people than most countries in the world. The state shares borders with Nepal and several Indian states. It covers 243,286 square kilometers, making it the fourth-largest state in India. Lucknow is the capital, and Prayagraj is the judicial capital.
Uttar Pradesh has 75 districts and one temporary district, making it the state with the most districts in India. For better administration, these districts are grouped into 18 divisions, helping in smooth governance and management.
Vrindavan, a city in the Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh, is known as the “City of Widows.” It is home to thousands of widows who come here due to social and economic difficulties. Many of them have been abandoned by their families and find shelter in ashrams. The city is also famous as a sacred place for Lord Krishna devotees.
