in Hindustan, a hill fort situated on an isolated rock rising 2500 feet above the plains of Gujarat, one of the most level provinces of Hindustan. To the northward of the mountain are the remains of an ancient city, the ruins of which extend several miles on each side, and are at present covered with an impenetrable jungle, the abode of tigers and bluehells, a fierce race of predatory mountaineers. The town is inclosed by a stone wall of good workmanship, within a small space of an oblong figure, which is three-fourths of a mile long, and three furlongs broad. The mountain is strengthened by two forts; the upper deemed impregnable by the natives, and containing a Hindu temple; while the defences of the lower part are extensive, and the whole of difficult approach. In 1812 the town of Chumpaneer contained four hundred houses, of which about only one-half were inhabited, principally by emigrants from other parts of Gujarat. It is supposed to have been the capital of an ancient principality long before the Mohammedan conquest; and it was taken about the end of the fifteenth century, by Mahmoud VII. of Guzerat, after a siege or blockade of twelve years. In 1534, it was taken by the Mogul emperor Humayun. In 1582, it is described as a place of considerable strength, surrounded by extensive ruins, Hindu as well as Mohammedan. In the dismemberment of the empire of Delhi, in the latter part of the eighteenth century, it was seized by the Mahrattas, who always considered it as a strong place, and had a good garrison in it. It was taken from Sindia by the British in 1802, but was restored to him in the following year. It is 55 miles E. by N. from Cambay. Long. 73° 30'. E., Lat. 22° 31'. N.
