Khurja is a city (and a municipal board) in the Bulandshahr district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is situated around 85 km from Delhi. Khurja supplies a large portion of the ceramics used in the country, hence it is sometimes called ''The Ceramics City''. The town is also famous for its special sweet, known as 'Khurchan'. The name ''Khurja'' is derived from the Urdu word ''kharija'' meaning, ''cancelled'' or ''condemned'', as the revenue for this town was waived because this land included many swamps and the agricultural possibilities were rare. Khurja is now famous for its ceramics. With over 500 factories producing ceramic works, its skyline is dotted with chimneys. However, the ceramic industry has been a boon and bain for the town, providing it with much needed employment and chimneys giving out pollutants as most of them still run on coal. ==Geography== Khurja is located at .〔(Falling Rain Genomics, Inc - Khurja )〕 It has an average elevation of 197 metres (646 foot). khurjaindia.com 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Khurja」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
