PREFACE.
WHEN Thornton's Gazetteer of India was originally presented
to the public, it was the only compilation of its kind; and it
was obviously desirable that, within reasonable limits, the work
should afford information, not only on those subjects which
ordinarily come within the range of a Gazetteer, but also on
the history, antiquities, etc., of the various localities described.
Since that time, however, Mr. Hunter's gigantic work, The
Imperial Gazetteer of India, has been prepared under the
auspices and at the cost of the Government of India, cover-
ing ground far more extensive than that of Thornton's
Gazetteer-, and it is understood that this vast official work will
be still further enlarged in the New Edition now in course of
production. In these circumstances it has been thought ad-
visable, when issuing a New Edition of Thornton's Gazetteer
corrected up to date, to modify in some measure the plan of
the work, by omitting much of the detail, and giving only
such leading facts and figures as will suffice for ordinary pur-
poses of reference a plan which has the further advantage of
reducing the work to one moderate- sized volume, notwithstand-
ing the addition of many hundreds of articles on places not
446959

included in any former edition. The figures of area and popu-
lation have been corrected by the Census Report of 1881 ; and
care has been taken to render the work as far as possible
accurate and trustworthy. As regards the numerous altera-
tions and additions that have been made, the Imperial Gazetteer
has of course been the main source of information, and has
been freely used ; the Editors desire to acknowledge the great
advantage which they, in common with all that section of
the public that is interested in India, have derived from the
completion of this great national undertaking. The spelling
is that adopted by the Government of India in Hunter's
Gazetteer; the Editors must not therefore be held responsible
for peculiarities which it was not within the scope of their
labours to correct.

for Rdrjputarra lesides there ; the English station contains a church,

pilgrimage, especially for the Jains, who have a very magnificent place of
worship at Dalwara, situate about the middle of the mountain, and five
miles south-west of Gurusikar. The group consists of four temples,
arranged in the form of a cross. Colonel Tod says, "Beyond controversy,
this is the most superb of all the temples in India, and there is not an
edifice besides the Taj Mahal that can approach it." See also Fergusson's

tains are the Vindhya. The chief rivers are the Jumna and Ken. The
towns are Banda, Karwi, llajapur ; the fortress of Kalinjar also is famous
in Indian history. The climate is productive of ague to Europeans, who
sometimes can be freed from its attacks only by removal to a better
BAN 67
climate ; but the natives enjoy at least the usual average of health. The
black soil of the plains is noted for fertility, producing in great abundance
and perfection wheat, barley, maize, millet of various sorts, and pulse.
Sugar and indigo, also, are successfully cultivated ; but of commercial
crops by far the most important is cotton, for which the district is so
celebrated that the produce is distinguished in commerce by the prefix of
its name. There are scarcely any manufactures, except of coarse cloth,
dyed red with a colour obtained from the root of a plant called Morinda
multiflora. The conduct of the Nawab during the mutiny of 1857 was

point 13,200 feet above the sea, in lat. 32 24', long. 77 11'. The river
takes a southerly course of about eighty miles to Mandi, and has there a
considerable body of water, and a width of from 150 to 200 yards, with
a depth of twelve feet. The depth, however, in the warm season con-
stantly varies, beginning to swell in the evening, attaining its maximum
by morning, and declining through the day, losing about one-third of its
water. This periodical change results from the melting of the snow
diurnally by the heat of the sun. From Mandi the Beas runs a course
of fifty miles, chiefly westerly, then takes a wide sweep of about eighty
miles to the north-west, and having entered the plain of the Punjab,
it turns southward, a course which it holds for about eighty miles further,
to its confluence with the Sutlej, which takes place at Endrisa, near the
village Hureki, on the borders of Kapurthala State, and in lat. 31 10',
long. 75 4', after a course by the former river of 290 miles. The Beas
is considered to be identical with the Hyphasis of Arrian, the Greek name
being a corruption of the Sanskrit Vipasa. The united stream below the
confluence bears the name of the Ghara until the confluence with the
Chenab.

COROMANDEL (COAST OF). Part of the eastern coast of Southern
India, forming the shore of the Bay of Bengal. It is considered to com-
mence at Point Calimere in lat. 10 17', long. 79 56', and to hold a direction
nearly due north as far as Gondegam, in lat. 15 20', long. 80 10'. It
extends across the estuaries of many rivers ; but there is no place within
its whole extent where large ships can be sheltered in all weather. Of
the places frequented by shipping, none have havens, and ships must be
anchored in the open sea, where, during the closing months of the year,
they are exposed to the violence of the north-east monsoon. The coast
throughout is, with little exception, low and sandy, and the sea shallow
near the shore, with sounding gradually increasing with the distance
from land. The etymology of the name Coromandel has been variously
explained, some tracing it to Karimanal (see next art.) ; but it appears
that it was originally denominated Choramandal or Cholamandal, which
is considered to mean the mandal or region of the Chola, an ancient
dynasty of this part of India.

GANGES. A celebrated river of India. In its upper course it is
called the Bhagirathi, which first comes to light near Gangotri, in
Garhwal State, in lat. 30 56' 4", long. 79 6' 40", issuing from under a
very low arch, at the base of a great snow-bed, estimated to be 300 feet
thick, which lies between the lofty mountains termed St. Patrick, St.
George, and the Pyramid, the two higher having elevations above the
sea, respectively, of 22,798 and 22,654 feet, and the other, on the oppo-
site side, having an elevation of 21,379. From this spot, which has an
elevation of 13,800 feet, the stream holds a direction north-west for ten
miles to Gangotri; the elevation of the latter is 10,300 feet, and the
average descent of the river thereto, from the place where it emerges
from the snow-bed, is 350 feet per mile. From Gangotri the Bhagirathi
holds a course nearly north-west to Bhairogati, in lat. 31 2', long. 78
54', the point of confluence with the Jahnavi, holding its steep and
foaming course from the north-east. The latter is considerably the
larger river. The distance is seven miles from Gangotri to Bhairogati ;
and as this latter place has an elevation of 8511 feet, the average descent
of the river in this part of its course is 255 per mile. The united stream
holds a course first westerly, and then south-westerly, for thirteen miles,
as far as Sukhi, in lat. 30 59', long. 78 45', where it may be said to
"break through the Himalaya Proper." At Deo Prayag, in lat. 30 8',
long. 78 39', it is joined on the left side by the Alaknanda, a large
stream formed by the union of the Vishnu and the Dhauli. From Deo
Prayag, the united stream, now called the Ganges, flows south-west to
Hardwar, in lat. 29 57', long. 78 14'. From Hardwar the general
course of the Ganges is nearly south for about 130 miles, as far as Anup-
shahr, in the British district of Bulandshahr, in lat. 28 31', long. 78 20',
where it turns to the south-east, and 160 miles lower down, in lat. 27 7',
long. 80 3', receives on the left side the Eamganga, a considerable river
flowing from the north-west. Eight miles lower down, it on the right
side receives the Kali Nadi, flowing likewise from the north-west ; and
twenty miles beyond, the Isan Nadi. One hundred and seventy miles
lower down, at Allahabad, in lat. 25 26', long. 81 45', it is joined, also
on the right side, by the Jumna, from the north-west. From Hardwar
to Cawnpore, the distance is about 348 miks. From Allahabad the
stream meanders in a direction generally easterly for 270 miles, to Manjhi,
near which, in lat. 25 46', long. 84 40', it is joined on the left side by
the Gogra. Between Allahabad and Manjhi, it on the left side receives
the Gumti, and on the right, the Tons and Karamnasa; besides many
smaller streams right and left. In the dry season, near Kachwa, thirty-
five miles above Benares, a shoal extends completely across the river,
having only two feet six inches of water on its lowest part. Eighteen
miles below the junction of the Gogra, opposite to the town of Cherand,
in lat. 25 39', long. 84 53', it on the right side receives the Son, a largo
280 GAN
river flowing from the south-west. At Hajipur, on the left side, twenty
miles below the confluence of the Son, the Ganges receives the Gandak, a
large river from the north-west, and continues to flow eastward for 160
miles, to Katri, in lat. 25 20', long. 87 17', where, on the left side, it
receives the Kusi, also a large river flowing from the north, having in its
course between the junctions of these two great rivers received right and
left several streams of less importance. In lat. 24 44', long. 87 59', the
Bhagirathi, a great watercourse, parts on the right side from the main
stream ; and seventy miles lower down, the Jalangi, another watercourse,
also of considerable dimensions, diverges on the same side, in. lat. 24 9',
long. 88 40'. The Bhagirathi proceeding southward for 120 miles,
is then rejoined by the Jalangi, after a course of about the like distance,
and the united stream, called the Hugli, continuing to hold the same
direction for forty-eight miles, becomes navigable for vessels of con-
siderable burthen at Chandanagar, in lat. 22 50', long. 88 24', at the
distance of 115 miles from the sea, into which it falls about lat. 21 40',
long. 88 ; its estuary being considered the termination of the sacred
stream. Below the divergence of the Bhagirathi and the Jalangi, the
main stream is called the Padma (Padda) or Ganges ; and from that point
the joint delta of the Ganges and Brahmaputra may be considered to
commence. The Ganges, flowing south-east, receives some considerable
streams on the left side ; and on the right, besides the Jalangi, it throws
off, five miles lower down, the Matabhanga ; forty miles below this latter
divergence, the Gorai; and forty miles still further, the Chandni. At
Goalanda it is joined by the Jamuna, the main stream of the Brahma-
putra ; and enters the sea by a great estuary called the Meghna. Total
course of main river to mouth of Hugli, 1509 miles; to mouth of
Meghna, 1557 miles.

HIMALAYA. A vast assemblage of mountains, stretching in an
irregularly curved line from the defile above Kashmir, on the north-
west, through which the Indus penetrates into the plains of the Punjab,
and separates the range from the mountains of Hindu Kush, to the
southern bend of the Sanpu or Dihong on the east, previous to its
junction with the Brahmaputra. This stupendous mass extends over
22 of longitude, its western extremity lying in long. 72 23', and its
eastern in long. 95 23'. About midway between the limits above de-
fined, and in the vicinity of Lake Manasarowar, is the southern extremity
of the mountain-range, which, extending from the north-west into Thibet,
separates the drainage system of the Indus from that of the Sanpu (after-
wards the Brahmaputra), and is by some regarded as the grand central
axis of Asia. Prom this centre the chain of the Himalayas stretches
to nearly an equal distance in a north-westerly direction on the one hand,
and a south-easterly on the other, throwing off at right angles lateral
ranges sloping southward to the plains of India. Deep narrow valleys,
separated from each other by these meridional ranges, contain the sources
of the numerous rivers which constitute the drainage system of the
Indus, the Ganges, and the Brahmaputra. Among the tributaries of
the Indus may be enumerated the Jhelum, Chenab, Beas, Eavi, and
Sutlej ; the principal feeders of the Ganges are the Jumna, Gogra,
Gandak, and Kosi ; the Tista and some others fall into the Brahmaputra.
The elevation of the culminating range of the Himalaya is probably at
a mean about 18,000 or 20,000 feet. The passes are rarely under 17,000
or 18,000 feet. The greater number of the giant peaks, which rise to
an elevation of 26,000 or 28,000 feet, are situated, not on the central
axis, but to the south of it. The length of the western division of the
culminating range of the Himalayas, from the source of the Sutlej to the
peaks of Dayamur on the Indus, is nearly 700 miles. The limits of the
snow-line on the southern slope have a height of about 18,500 feet.
The length of the eastern section of the culminating range of the Hirna-
22
338 HIM EOT
layas, from the confluence of the Dihong with the Brahmaputra in the
east, to the river Kali, forming the boundary of Nepal on the west, is
about 800 miles. This portion supports the lofty peaks of Kanchanjanga
and Dhaulagiri. The latter, having an elevation of 27,600 feet, is in
lat. 29 11', long. 82 59'. The lofty peak of Kanchanjanga rises to the
height of 28,176 feet; and between this summit and Khatmandu is the
mountain that has a greater elevation than any other in the world,
hitherto discovered, Mount Everest, 29,002 feet. The entire chain may
be said to have an average breadth of 150 miles ; its length is computed at
about 1,500.

and Gurgaon districts, Punjab ; and Meerut, Bulandshahr, Ali'garh,
Muttra, Agra, Etawah, Cawnpore, Jalaun, Hamirpur, Fatehpur, Band a,
and Allahabad districts, N.W.P. It is the most important feeder of the
Ganges, which river it joins at Allahabad. It rises at the south-western
base of the group called the Jamnotri Peaks, at an elevation of 10,849
feet, and in lat. 31, long. 78 32'. The stream holds a course generally
392 JTJM
south-westerly for about eight miles, when the Barai-Ganga, a stream
which down to this point surpasses the Jumna in length and volume of
water, joins it on the left side, in lat. 30 56', long. 78 27'. The de-
clivity of the bed of the stream in this part of its course is enormous, as
in a distance of sixteen miles, between its source and Kotnur, the fall is
5036 feet, being at the rate of 314 feet to the mile. About five miles
below this, and in lat. 30 49', long. 78 19', it receives on the right the
Badiar, a great torrent, descending from the mountain Kedar-Kanta. On
the same side, about three miles farther, the Banal joins it, and, eight
miles beyond, it is increased by the accession (also on the right side) of
the Kamalada, the largest of its tributaries above the Tons. About four
miles lower down, it receives the Rikna, and ten miles farther, the
Khutni, both on the right side. About fifteen miles below this, it is
joined on the left side by the Aglar or Agilwar, a considerable torrent.
In addition to those above enumerated, numerous streams of less import-
ance flow into the Jumna on both sides, between the source and this
confluence. At the latter point, in lat. 30 31', long. 78 3', the course
of the river, previously for the most part south-westerly, turns due west,
which direction it keeps for thirteen miles, to the confluence of the Tons,
in lat. 30 30', long. 77 53', and at an elevation of 1686 feet above the
sea. About ten miles farther down, on the same side, the Jumna receives
the Giri, a small river; and a mile below this place, it receives on the
left side, and at an elevation of 1470 feet, the Asan, flowing from the
south-east, and draining or irrigating the western part of the Dehra Dun.
Taking from this point a direction first westerly, then southerly, it flows
through a ravine in the Siwalik Mountains ; and enters the plains near
Faizabad in Saharanpur district, where it gives off the Eastern and
Western Jumna Canals. From Delhi, the course turns a little to the
east; but though in many places extraordinarily circuitous, it holds
generally a south-easterly direction to its confluence with the Ganges at
Allahabad, a distance from Delhi, by the river's course, of 619 miles.
Between Delhi and Allahabad, the Jumna receives on the right side the
following rivers: the Utanghan, in lat. 26 59', long. 78 31'; the
Chambal, in lat. 26 30', long. 79 19'; the Sind, eight miles below;
the Betwa, in lat. 25 55', long. 80 17'; the Ken, in lat. 25 47', long.
80 35', all considerable streams ; besides some others of less importance.
The chief streams which fall in on the left side are, the Hindan, in lat.
28 28', long. 77 50' ; and the Sengur, in lat. 26 9', long. 79 59'.
The total length of the river, from its source to its confluence with the
Ganges at Allahabad, is 860 miles. On the rocky point where the waters
meet, stands the fort of Allahabad. The streams at the junction are
nearly equal in volume ; the Ganges, the deeper, with yellow water ; the
Jumna, the more rapid, with water as clear as crystal.
JUMNA CANAL, EASTERN Canal in Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar,
and Meerut districts, N.W.P. ; it is drawn from the Jumna, and joins that
river again in lat. 28 36' 30 19', long. 77 19' 77 38'.

at a height of 8400 feet above the sea, a very copious spring bursts from
the ground, and forms the chief source of the principal stream. But the
extreme head is about twelve miles farther west, on the eastern declivity
of the Unai ridge. It is at first an inconsiderable stream, everywhere
f ordable for sixty miles, as far as Kabul ; at a short distance beyond
which place it receives the river of Logar, and thenceforward is a rapid
river. About forty miles below Kabul it receives the Pan j shir river,
which has a course of 120 miles. About fifteen miles below this, it
receives the Tagao river, having a course of about eighty miles. The
united streams of the Alishang and Alingar join the Kabul river about
twenty miles farther down, after a course each of about 120 miles. At
the distance of about twenty miles more, the Surkh-ab, or Red River, so
called from the colour which its water derives from the earth suspended
in it, falls into the Kabul river after a course of seventy miles. Twenty
miles further east, the Kabul river receives the river Kama, called also
the river of Kunar, which, rising in Chitral, flows through Kafiristan.
Eastward of the Khaibar Mountains, and in lat. 34 10', long. 71 27',

it enters the British territory, and divides into three "branches, which, at

navigable for hoats of forty or fifty tons to Attock, near which it joins
the Indus. Just below Duobandi, it is joined from the north by the
river of Swat. After this confluence, the Kabul river continues to flow
eastward for forty miles, and falls into the Indus on the western side,
nearly opposite Attock, in lat. 33 54', long. 72 16', having a total
course of about 320 miles.

from south-east to north-west, and divides the great northern range called
variously Kuenlun, Muz Tagh, or Karakorum, from the stupendous
mountains of Rupshu, Spiti, and Zanskar. The most elevated mountains
rise to heights little inferior to those of any summits on the face of the
globe. The climate is characterized by cold and excessive aridity. The
population is Thibetan, and estimated by Moorcroft at between 150,000
and 180,000. Under a treaty concluded in 1870 with the Maharaja of
Kashmir, two joint Commissioners (one British and one Native) have been
appointed to supervise the trade.

north by the presidency of Bombay, the Haidarabad State, the Central
Provinces, and the Orissa division of Bengal ; on the east and south-east
by the Bay of Bengal; on the south by the Indian Ocean; and on the
south-west and west by the Arabian Sea. It extends from Cape Comorin,
in lat. 8 4', to the northern extremity of the district of Ganjam, in lat.
20 15'; and from the north-west point of the district of South Kanara,
in long. 74 1', to the eastern extremity of the district of Ganjam, in
long. 85 15'. Its greatest length, measured from north-east to south-
west, is about 950 miles ; and its greatest breadth, measured at right
angles to the direction of that line, is about 400. Its sea- coast on one
face, measured in a south-eastern direction, and subsequently eastward to
Cape Comorin, extends 540 miles, being nearly throughout washed by the
Arabian Sea, and for a short distance by the Indian Ocean. On the other
face, measured from Cape Comorin north-east to the north of Ganjam,
along the shore of the Bay of Bengal, its length is about 1187 miles;
and consequently the total extent of the sea-coast of the Presidency
is 1727 miles; being much greater than that of the two others combined.
As regards harbours, that at Cochin, on the Malabar coast, which has the
greatest depth of water, is, during several months of the year, closed
by the south-west monsoon. The port of Man galore admits with safety
only vessels having not more than ten or twelve feet draught. About
fifty-six miles north-west of the city of Madras, the Eastern Ghats form
a junction with the range, which, sweeping irregularly inland, crosses
the peninsula in a south-west direction ; and in the vicinity of the
Nilgiris, joins the "Western Ghats, which extend to Cape Comorin on
the one side, and to the northern frontier of the presidency on the other.
The Eastern and Western Ghats unite in the Nilgiris, of which one peak,
Dodabetta (8640 ft. high), is the highest mountain in Southern India.
Besides these may be mentioned the Shevaroy Hills in Salem district,
the Anamalai Hills in Coimbatore, and the Palni Hills in Madura.
Though the great table-land of the Deccan rises considerably towards the
south, it has a general slope of surface to the east or south-east, all
the streams of any considerable magnitude flowing in that direction, and
being ultimately emptied into the Bay of Bengal. The principal
rivers are the Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri, North Pennar or Pinakini,
the South Pennar or Pinakini, and the Palar. The two great railway
systems of the Presidency are the Madras Railway and the South
Indian Railway. The former, with a total length of 857 miles (1880),
joins Raichor (on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway of Bombay) with
Madras, and proceeds thence westward to the west coast of Beypur, with
branches to Bellary and Bangalore. The latter railway, with a total
length of 633 miles (1880), joins Madras with Tuticorin. The area
of the Presidency is 138,856 sq. miles, and the pop. (1881), 31,170,631,
exclusive of the Native States, which have an area of 9192 sq. miles,

NARBADA. One of the greatest rivers of India ; rising in Bilaspur
district, Central Provinces, on the elevated plateau of Amarakantak, in
the Vindhya Mountains, at an elevation of probably between 3000 and
4000 feet above the sea, in lat. 22 41', long. 81 49'. About forty
miles below Jabalpur, in lat. 23 4', long. 79 26', it, on the right side,
receives the Hiran, a small river ; and twenty miles lower down, on the
left side, the Sher, still smaller. Lower in its course, the channel is con-
tracted between two high perpendicular cliffs, of magnesian limestone,
white as snow, called the Marble Bocks. Four or five miles above
Hoshangabad, 360 miles from its source, and in lat. 22 45', long. 77 49',
it on the right side receives the Tawa, perhaps the largest of its tributaries.
In lat. 22 15', long. 76 48', 455 miles below the source of the river, 346
above its mouth, is a fall which entirely stops navigation. From this
place the river is unfit for navigation for seventy miles, to Makrai Fall,
in lat. 21 47', long. 73 48', 691 miles from the source, 110 from the
mouth. From Makrai to Talakwara, a distance of twenty-five miles, the
navigation is difficult, but practicable. From Talakwara, in lat. 21 57',
long. 73 32', to the sea, a distance of eighty-five miles, it is navigable
for boats of considerable burthen. Flowing by the city of Broach, situate
on its right or north bank, it falls into the Gulf of Cambay, in lat. 21
35', long. 72 35' ; its total length of course being 801 miles. The tide
is perceptible only twenty-five miles above Broach, or fifty-five from the
sea. Throughout the tidal part of its course, the breadth of the Narbada
exceeds a mile. At Broach, about thirty miles from the mouth, it is a
noble sheet of water two miles wide, even when the tide is out. Ships of
burthen can proceed up the river to Broach, but skilful pilotage is
necessary. Few rivers have a more direct course than that of the
Narbada, which is nearly due east and west. It is considered to be the
boundary between the Deccan and Hindustan. As a sacred stream it
ranks second only to the Ganges.

five extensive natural sections, described by the native term dodb,
signifying a great tongue of land lying in the bifurcation above the
confluence of two rivers. First, the doab of Jalandhar, between the
Sutlej and the Beas ; second, the doab of Bari, between the Beas and
Ghara on the east and the Ravi on the west ; third, the doab of Rechna,
between the Ravi on the east and the Chenab on the west ; fourth, the
doab of Jetch, between the Chenab on the east and the Jhelum on the
west ; fifth, the doab of Sind Sagur, between the Jhelum, Trimab or
Chenab, and Panjnad on the east, and the Indus on the west. Of late
years a large and constantly increasing area has been devoted to the
cultivation of wheat. The Punjab was annexed in 1849, on the conclu-
sion of the second Sikh war, and the Maharaja Dhulip Sinh became a
pensioner of Government. It is administered by a Lieutenant-Governor.
The province is traversed by the East Indian Railway, the Rajputana
State Railway, the Sind, Punjab and Delhi Railway, and the Northern
47
738 PUN PUR
State Railway. There are also numerous canals, as well as several
excellent roads. The manufacturing industry of the Punjab is con-
siderable. It is exercised principally in the silk and cotton productions
of Amritsir, Lahore, Multan, Shujahabad, Leia, and some other places
in the south, and in the fabrication of arms in Lahore. Much of the
commerce of the Punjab consists in the transit of the goods of Hindostan
to the countries west of the Indus. The chief marts are Amritsir,
Multan, Lahore, Umballa, Delhi and Peshawar.

thousand pilgrims. The great Car festival of Jagannath, which takes
place annually about June or July, is well known, and much has been
written on it. The Imperial Gazetteer of India states that " There have
doubtless been instances of pilgrims throwing themselves under the wheels
in a frenzy of religious excitement ; but such instances have always been
rare, and are now almost unknown. At one time several people were
injured or killed every year, but these were almost invariably the result
of accidental trampling. The few cases of suicide that did occur were
for the most part those of diseased and miserable objects who took this
means to put themselves out of pain. The official returns place this
beyond doubt." Area of subdivision, 1530 sq. miles. Pop. (1881),

comprised within Rajputana is intersected by the Aravali range of
mountains, in a line commencing from the ridge of Delhi on the north-
east to Mount Abu on the south-west. The country lying north-west of
this line and comprising about three-fifths of the province is chiefly desert.
In this desert, which is covered with sand-hills, generally lying in long
straight ridges, water is obtainable from wells or pools with difficulty,
and as the water gives out villages often have to shift position. The
principal towns however, which have a secure water supply, are generally
well built and prosperous. To the southward of the Aravali range the
country is more fertile ; being watered by the Banas and Chambal rivers
with their tributaries, rising from the Tindhya Mountains. In the north-
western portion the only river of importance is the Loni, which rises near
Ajmere, and runs south-west for about 200 miles into the Kann of Cutch.
Among the most striking physical features of Rajputana is the Sambhar
Salt Lake, lying between Jaipur and Marwar. The chief towns are
generally the capitals of the principal States : the towns of Jaipur,
Jodhpur, Bikaner, Jaisalmir, Ulwar, Udaipur, Bhartpur, Tonk, Kotah,
Bundi, and Jhalra Patan are the most important. The province, which is
