Harraiya is a Tehsil, town and a nagar panchayat in Basti district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. In the freedom struggle of 1857, about 250 martyrs of Amorha State of Harraiya Tehsil were hanged by the British Government from peepal trees located at Chhawani.[1] [2]

There is an Epic story about its name that Lord Ram with Sita And Lakshman traveled this way in the Ramayan era. So it was then called as Harirahiya in Awadhi which later turned into Harraiya. It is also a legislative assembly.
