'''Adalhat''', now a rising rural market place, was a small village located in [[Mirzapur district]] of [[Uttar Pradesh]] [[States and territories of India|state]] in northern [[India]]. Its name is derived from famous Sufi saint Adalshah Baba, whose Majar is still maintained in vill. Ibrahimpur, which is a cent percent Hindu village.
Adalhat is located on [[SH 5A]], also known as Shakti Nagar Highway, being upgraded from two lane to four lane, it has Varanasi in its north at a distance of 30 km and Robertsganj in south at a distance of 60 km. Legal administration of the place lies with Chunar Tahsil.

Adalhat is not a revenue village, so not on all administrative records, but it comprises villages Ibrahimpur, Naithi, Hansapur, Garaundi, and Pathraura of Tahsil Chunar. It has police station and post office in name of Adalhat.
About 50 years ago this place was confined to village Ibrahimpur only. There was only one primary school for about a dozen villages, nearby till 1951.

A social worker and Sarpanch of this area Sri Sita Ram Gupta took initiative and a middle school was started in 1951 which gradually rose up to 10+2 standard now and named as Adarsh Inter College. The college is co-educational with about 3000 students and about an equal number of girls and boys. The connectivity by canal service roads and Sharma Road extended up to Bihar in east and being on main Varanasi-Shaktinagar road, opened doors to good business. There is a post graduate level government-run degree college for women Lalta Singh Rajkiya Mahila Mahavidyalaya. The strength of girls in this college is about 1500.

There are three nationalised banks (Union Bank,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://banksifsccode.org/union_bank_of_india/uttar_pradesh/mirzapur/adalhat| title=Union Bank Of India Adalhat Mirzapur Branch IFSC/MICR Code Details |accessdate=2020-09-07}}</ref> State bank of India Bank<ref>{{cite web |url=https://banksifsccode.org/state_bank_of_india/uttar_pradesh/mirzapur/adalhat| title=State Bank Of India Adalhat Mirzapur Branch IFSC/MICR Code Details |accessdate=2020-09-07}}</ref> and Allahabad Bank), one cooperative bank and A post-office branch in Adalhat market. This is not a big business center but its proximity to Varanasi (30 km) and being a hub of agricultural activities has a good potential for a [[food processing]] unit.
Adalhat is also known for its most secular image. On the eve of Moharram every year, more than hundred Tazias are brought here from nearby villages for burial at Garaundi Imambara. They proceed from the northern end of Adalhat market in shape of a procession, which is led by Tazia of Ibrahimpur where only a couple citizens having faith in Islam live. In this village (Ibrahimpur) Hindus fully cooperate for this Tazia and the following events.

The place has also been in news for revamping education system in rural India, many schools like [http://www.royalpublicschool.webs.com Royal Public school], Eden school, Kalidasa have transformed the education system in the area covering approximately 50 km. Some coaching institutes like BASE School of Spoken English, Advance Coaching centre, RB Singh Coaching Centre & Mishra Coaching Centre and private primary school like Swami Vivekanand Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya(Founded by Ramesh Pandey), Kalidas public School (Founded by Kalicharan Gupta) etc.

This place is located on Varanasi-Shaktinagar highway, nearest railway station being Ahraura Road (at Narayanpur). The place is famous for its nearby (20 km) waterfall, Lakhania dari.

==Climate==
Adalhat experiences a [[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]] ''Cwa'') with large variations between summer and winter temperatures. Summers are long, from early April to October, with intervening monsoon seasons and are also extremely hot, even by South Asian standards. The temperature ranges between 22[[Celsius|°C]]{{spaced ndash}}46 °C (72[[Fahrenheit|°F]]{{spaced ndash}}115 °F) in the summers. Winters in this place see very large [[diurnal cycle|diurnal]] variations, with warm days and downright cold nights. Cold waves from the [[Himalayas|Himalayan]] region cause temperatures to dip across the city in the winter from December to February and temperatures below 5 °C are not uncommon.{{citation needed |date=September 2012}} The average annual rainfall is {{convert|1110|mm|in|abbr=on}}.<ref name=delhitourism>{{cite web|url=http://www.delhitourism.com/varanasi-tourism/ |title=Varanasi tourism |accessdate=18 August 2006 |publisher=DelhiTourism.com}}{{Unreliable source?|date=February 2008}}</ref> Fog is common in the winters, while hot dry winds, called [[Loo (wind)|loo]], blow in the summers.

Through a combination of water pollution, new constructions of upstream dams, and increase in the local temperature, the water level of the Ganges has recently gone down significantly, and small islands have become visible in the middle of the river.
