PIR PANJAL (Saint's Mountain), a mountain range of India, stretching from N.W. to S.E., between Cashmere and the Punjab. Its length is about 40 miles, from the Baramula pass on the N.W. to the Pir Panjal pass on the S.E.; and its highest point, which is in N. Lat. 33. 40., is about 15,000 feet above the sea. Its structure on the Cashmere side consists of primary rocks, while the summit is basaltic, and transition formations also appear in some places. The pass of Pir Panjal, though 12,000 feet high, is below the snow-line, and remains passable for a great part of the year.
