| • | Lalitpur district is one of the districts of Uttar Pradesh state of India. Lalitpur district is a part of Jhansi division. Main town is Lalitpur.
Lalitpur District, population 977,447 (2001 census), is joined to Jhansi District of Uttar Pradesh by a narrow corridor to the northeast, but is otherwise almost completely surrounded by Madhya Pradesh state; to the east lies Tikamgarh District, to the south Sagar District, and to the west Ashoknagar and Shivpuri districts. Lalitpur District was part of Jhansi District from 1891 to 1974. Lalitpur, Jalaun, and Jhansi districts form Jhansi Division.
Lalitpur is divided into three tehsils, Lalitpur, Mehroni, and Talbehat; four towns, Lalitpur, Mehroni, Talbehat, and Pali; and 754 villages. In 2004 the district magistrate is Umadher Dwivedi, and the Superintendent of police is L.V.A. Dev Kumar, and the District Information Officer is Murlidhar Singh.
The district forms a portion of the hill country of Bundelkhand, sloping down from the outliers of the Vindhya Range on the south to the tributaries of the Yamuna River on the north. The extreme south is composed of parallel rows of long and narrow-ridged hills. Through the intervening valleys the rivers flow down impetuously over ledges of granite or quartz. North of the hilly region, the rocky granite chains gradually lose themselves in clusters of smaller hills.
The Betwa River forms the northern and western boundary of the district, and most of the district lies within its watershed. The Jamni River, a tributary of the Betwa, forms the eastern boundary. The Dhasan River forms the district's southeastern boundary, and the southeastern portion of the district lies within its watershed.The town is now a part of the recessionist movement originating in southern Uttar Pradesh and northern Madhya Pradesh to create a separate state of Bundelkhand, as this area is traditionally called by locals.
