Kholua is the combined name of five different villages, the others being Semra, Daurhara, Majhalipatti, and Annirudhapur.

It has been calculated that the clock tower in Mirzapur is nearly exactly on the reference longitude of Indian Standard Time at 82.5°[1] Kholua is located at 25°09′N 82°35′E / 25.15°N 82.58°E / 25.15; 82.58,[2] and has an average elevation of 80 meters (265 feet).

The village is surrounded by the Ganges to the south, Majhlipatti and Dhabiya to the west, Daurahra to the east, and Hanumananagar to the north.

Villagers have their own fields so they do not need to buy wheat, rice, potatoes, and other edible crops.

A few miles away from Kholua is a site of pilgrimage to Hindus known as Vindhyachal, where according legends, a part of Sati (an avatar of Durga) fell.
