Geography & terrain
Faridabad lies in Haryana, 25 km south of Delhi on the Yamuna's west bank — the city of the National Capital Region, its lakes and the Aravalli's edges set at the state's gateway along the Delhi–Mathura road.
History & culture
The city's name runs with the 17th-century Sufi saint Sheikh Farid — the founder of the old town at the Delhi–Agra route's crossing; the modern city's growth as the NCR's industrial and residential belt, with its story of the 1947-era refugee settlement and the later industrial estates, gives Faridabad its frontier-city character, and the nearby Aravalli's lakes and the Surajkund heritage now anchor its leisure side.
