  • Part of the kingdom of King Hiranyakashyapu, Prahlad's father. Till 50 years ago, too, locals pronounced Hardoi as 'Haddoi'. It is believed that pronunciation of 'R' was prohibited by the King as it reminded him of his foe 'Hari' (Vishnu).

History Name origin People believe that the name Hardoi comes from distorted version of its earlier name Haridrohi, which is a Hindi word that means "anti to the God". According to a mythological story in past it was ruled by a king Hirnakashyap, who doesn’t have faith in God, but instead declared himself as God. He wanted the people should pray him but later his own son Prahlad rebelled. He tried to kill his own son by various means but he was unsuccessful. Later, to save Prahlad, God himself came in mysterious shape and killed the "HIRNAKASHYAP".According to some scholars the term "Hardoi" originated from the term "Haridwaya" which means two Gods. Since there are two Gods Baman bhagvan (in the regime of King 'BALI) and Narsimha Bhagvan (in the regime of King HIRANYAKASHIPU)had been incarnated hence the place called Haridwaya and later called Hardoi.
