About

Kalyanpur or Kalianpur (earlier Kullianpore) is a satellite town of Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh, India. Located about 15 km from Kanpur on the Grand Trunk Road towards Delhi, it is effectively a suburb of Kanpur. This town's post office is spelled Kalyanpur,but the station is named Kalianpur, while British records often use the variant spelling ""Kullianpur"". Kalyanpur is also the name of a different village in East UP.

During the Indian rebellion of 1857, Nana Sahib met rebel company soldiers at Kalyanpur.[citation needed] Soldiers were on their way to Delhi to meet Bahadur Shah II. After a one-day march, they camped at Kalyanpur on 7 June, where they met Nana Sahib and Azimullah, who convinced them to turn back and free Kanpur from the control of British India.
