Ant, also spelled Aunt, is a village in Mal block of Lucknow district, Uttar Pradesh, India.[2] As of 2011, its population was 1,138, in 227 households. It is the seat of a gram panchayat.[3]
According to tradition, Ant was originally a stronghold of the Jhojhas, until they were expelled from their forts here and at Mal by the Gaharwar Rajputs.[4] There is an enormous well here, where as many as four bullocks can work at the same time, said to have been built by the Jhojas.[4] There are also the remains of an old wall running from here past Mal to the village of Amlauli.[4]
