Harduaganj is a town and a nagar panchayat in the Aligarh district of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The town is believed to be founded by Balram Dauji (elder brother of Krishna). An ancient temple dedicated to Dauji is located in the town. Mythologically, it is believed by the residents of this town that Dauji killed a demon by using "Hal" (plough)and then washed the "Hal" at this site, thereby, giving the name to this place as "Hal-dhuwa-ganj". Later on, the name was adjusted to "Harduaganj".
The 500 MW Harduaganj Thermal Power Station is located here.[3]
