Agra was not a major centre of the Revolt of 1857 in the same way as Delhi, Kanpur, or Ayodhya (within the rebel-held region of Oudh).

Delhi, Kanpur, and the region around Ayodhya (part of Oudh, with Faizabad being a major rebel hub) were key centers where the revolt saw major uprisings, sustained resistance, and prominent rebel leadership. Agra, while affected by the revolt and having a British-held fort that was briefly threatened, remained largely under British control and was not a center of rebel organization or leadership.

Major centers of the Revolt included Delhi (Bahadur Shah Zafar, Bakht Khan), Kanpur (Nana Saheb, Tantia Tope), Lucknow (Begum Hazrat Mahal), Jhansi (Rani Lakshmibai), Gwalior (Tantia Tope, Rani Lakshmibai), Bareilly (Khan Bahadur Khan), Arrah (Kunwar Singh), and Faizabad (Maulvi Ahmadullah). Agra served more as a British stronghold and administrative center in the region.
