Mainpuri (; ) is a city in Mainpuri district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is the administrative headquarters of Mainpuri district and is 55 km from Etawah and 294 km from New Delhi. Mainpuri is located in the Braj region, which holds special religious significance to Hindus as the homeland of Krishna. As of 2011, Mainpuri had a population of 136,557 in 24,498 households.
==Geography== Mainpuri is located on a branch of the historical Grand Trunk Road, about 55 km from the city of Etawah and 116 km from the city of Agra. The Isan river is on the east side of town. Mainpuri is about 5 km downstream from the point where the Isan receives the Kak Nadi as a tributary. In this area, up until about 1 km downstream of Mainpuri, the Isan has a relatively shallow bed and often overflows during the monsoon season. Three bridges cross the Isan river in Mainpuri; the northernmost is by the Devi temple on the road to Kuraoli. The soil in this area is a mix of loam and usar.
