Chillupar

Chillupar is a tract of the eastern Hindustan plain in the country around Gorakhpur. Villages such as Shuklapuri belonged to the pargana of Chillupar, south of the town. The region was governed by the Nawabs of Awadh until 1801, when it was ceded to the British East India Company. Its fields and settlements lie within the broad lowlands stretching towards the Ghaghara River.
