Lakhimpur

Lakhimpur is a toponym used for several places in India. The two most commonly referenced are Lakhimpur Kheri district in Uttar Pradesh and Lakhimpur district in Assam. Lakhimpur Kheri district is located in northern Uttar Pradesh, with its administrative headquarters in the town of Lakhimpur (often referred to as Lakhimpur Kheri). The Assam district lies in the northern part of the state, and its administrative headquarters is North Lakhimpur, a town on the north bank of the Brahmaputra River.
