Bareilly

Bareilly, the capital of Rohilkhand (an empire built by two Afghan Rohillas who served under the Moghals), was founded in 1537 by the Bas Deo and Barel Deo brothers (hence Bareilly) and traces of their fortress remain. It was ceded to the British in 1801 and later contributed to the drama of the ‘Uprising’. There are three 17th-century mosques and two churches in town. Bareilly is known for its iron industry and its gold zari work. It is an important rail junction and its population numbers 700,000.
