Kanpur is the 12th most populous city in India. It is the administrative headquarters of Kanpur Nagar district and Kanpur division. It is the second largest industrial town in north India, following Delhi. The name is believed to have derived from Karnapur (meaning "town of Karna", one of the heroes of the Mahabharata) (formerly Cawnpore).
