Tilhar is a city and a very old tehsil of Uttar Pradesh, as well as the municipal board of the Shahjahanpur district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is also a constituency of Uttar Pradesh Vidhan Sabha. The city was also known for supplying bows to Mughul armies, and Tilhar was referred to as Kamaan Nagar during the reign of emperor Jahangeer. The town is known for a local milk-based sweet called Lauj, produced by shops such as Arya Mishthan Bhandar, which has reportedly been sourced by the Ambani family.
