Sambhal is a city in Uttar Pradesh, India. Sambhal city is famous for its unique kind of horn and bone craft items which is manufactured in Sarai Tarin 4 km away from Sambhal city which are being exported. Sambhal headquarter is situated in Pawasa Sambhal. Sambhal has a rich history and has been home to several rulers and emperors. It was found in Satyuga. At that time it was a very big city. From the Lodi’s to the Mughal’s, right from the 5th century BC and spanning up to the 16th Century, it has been under the rule of one emperor or the other. Sambhal is said to have flourished under the Akbar rule but subsequently deteriorated in popularity when Akbar’s son Shah Jahan was made the incharge of the city.

Sambhal is a small town but has its fair share of tourist spots that one can visit to get an insight into the town’s glorious past and colourful present. The first ever Babri Masjid to have built stands tall in the town of Sambhal, making it a true testament of how the Mughals had a lasting bearing on the shaping up of this small town. Sambhal also has the famous Kalki Vishnu Mandir whose entrance reads Pracheen Sri Kalki Vishnu Mandir meaning the ancient Vishnu Temple.
