Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Bareilly is GeoNames ID 1277013. Its recorded administrative path is Bareilly → Uttar Pradesh → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place.
Bareilly occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2024-01-06; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Population position inside fixed cohorts
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Bareilly ranks 736 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 72; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 418.

Its recorded population is below Bareilly's. Against Bareilly, Aligarh follows Aligarh → Uttar Pradesh → India in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is above Bareilly's. Against Bareilly, Meerut follows Meerut → Uttar Pradesh → India in the source.
Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is above Bareilly's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 629 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Bareilly's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the wider half of atlas distances. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist.
Read as one record signature, GeoNames 1277013, the coordinate pair 28.3668 / 79.4317, country rank 72 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1262801 at 82.722 km bind Bareilly to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Coordinate, time-zone and class cohorts
Bareilly's reference point is 28.3668° north and 79.4317° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Bareilly's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.
Bareilly's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Bareilly's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Bareilly, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain.
Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
