ETAH, a town and district of British India, in the Agra division of the United Provinces.
Etah was at an early date the seat of a primitive Aryan civilization, and the surrounding country is mentioned by Hsiian Tsang, the Chinese Buddhist pilgrim of the 7th century A.D., as rich in temples and monasteries.
