a small town of Hindustan, in the province of Bejaipoor, and district of Raybaugh, situated on the banks of the Kishnah river, which here runs in an easterly direction, and is about five hundred yards from bank to bank. It was formerly, while under the Mahomedan government, a place of considerable note; but it has been so much oppressed by the Mahratta Brahmans, that many of the Mahomedan persuasion have emigrated. Some, however, still remain, and are subsisted by a revenue from charitable lands. In the vicinity is a Mahomedan burying ground, where many persons of great eminence are interred. Among these the tomb of Shaikh Surajuddin is held in the highest reverence. This is one of the towns within the Mahratta territory which enjoys the extraordinary privilege of killing beef for sale.
