Auras is a town and nagar panchayat in Hasanganj tehsil of Unnao district, Uttar Pradesh, India.[1] First officially classified as a town for the 1981 census,[2] Auras is located just north of the Sai River, on the road from Unnao to Sandila.[3] Other roads branch off to Mohan, Newalganj, and Malihabad.[3]

Auras was historically the seat of a pargana[3] and today is the seat of a community development block.[1] Important commodities produced here include wheat flour, rice, and mangoes.[1] As of 2011, the population of Auras is 6,466, in 1,158 households.[1]

History

[edit]

According to tradition, Auras was founded c. 1400 by Ram Mal, a member of the Ursaha merchant community from Sandila.[3] The Ursahas' trade routes passed through the area, and the site of what is now Auras was covered by forests.[3] Ram Mal cut down the forest and established a village here, which he called "Auras" after his tribe.[3]

Auras was originally part of Lucknow district, but the Auras-Mohan pargana was moved into Unnao district in 1869.[3] It was put into the tehsil previously based at Nawabganj; the headquarters were moved to Mohan at that point and then later moved to Hasanganj.[3]

At the turn of the 20th century, Auras was described as a small village that served as headquarters of the pargana of Auras-Mohan.[3] It had a police station, a road bungalow, and one primary school.[3] There were two markets held weekly, but they were not particularly busy, and the only local products were earthenware and a small amount of jewellery.[3] The population of Auras in 1901 was 1,535 people, including a Muslim population of 96.[3]

Geography
