Deoria Pincodes

Districts Kushinagar in the north, Gopalganj & Siwan (Bihar state) in the east, Mau & Ballia in the south, and Gorakhpur in the west encircle District Deoria. The Deoria district headquarters is located 53 kilometers east of Gorakhpur on a road. The district’s principal rivers include the Ghaghara, Rapti, and Chhoti Gandak.

Gorakhpur district gave way to Deoria district on March 16, 1946. The term “Devaranya” or, more likely, “Devpuria,” is whence the name DEORIA originates. Official gazzettes state that the district name “Deoria” is derived from the name of the headquarters, “Deoria,” which normally refers to a location with temples. A fossilized (broken) Shiva temple at the north bank of the Kurna River gave rise to the name DEORIA.
