DISTRICT BALLIA

Ballia is situated in extreme north-eastern part of Uttar Pradesh. It is surrounded by Mau on the west, Deoria in the north, Bihar in the north eastern part and Ghazipur in the south western part. The city is in an irregular shape and has one of its corners or boundaries at the confluence of two major rivers: Ganges and Ghagra.

These rivers separate the city from other neighboring cities. Like River Ganges separate Ballia from Bihar and River Ghagra separate Ballia from Deoria. The city is just one hundred and thirty five kilometres away from the well known city of Varanasi.
