Makhi is a large village in Miyanganj block of Unnao district, Uttar Pradesh, India. [2] It hosts a Ramlila fair for one day during the month of Kuar, [3] and it also holds a market twice per week, on Mondays and Saturdays. [4] The main items sold at the market are grain and vegetables. [4] Makhi also has a train station on the Kanpur- Balamau line, between the stations at Safipur and Patiyara. [4] As of 2011, its population is 13,786, in 2,503 households. [2]
Makhi was supposedly founded around the year 1000 by a Lodh named Makhi, who named the village after himself. [3] The Lodhs were then conquered by one Raja Ishri Singh, from Mainpuri, whose descendants remained the zamindars of the village through the 20th century. [3]
At the turn of the 20th century, Makhi was described as a very large village at the far southern part of the pargana of Asiwan Rasulabad. [3] The Ramlila fair did not draw very large crowds then, and the village's industries included the manufacture of earthenware pottery and some silver ornaments. [3] It had two temples, one to Devi and one to Mahadeo, and its population (which was 4,544 as of the 1901 census) consisted mostly of Chauhan Thakurs and Brahmins. [3]
The 1961 census recorded Makhi as comprising 19 hamlets, with a total population of 6,447 (3,411 male and 3,036 female), in 1,130 households and 1,042 physical houses. [4] The area of the village was given as 5,529 acres. [4] Average attendance of the biweekly market was about 400 people at the time. [4] The village had a medical practitioner at the time, as well as the following small-scale industrial establishments: 1 grain mill, 3 miscellaneous food processing facilities, 1 maker of garments, 1 maker of sundry hardwares, and 3 uncategorised manufacturers.
