an extensive hill fort of the Punjab, situated to the S.W. of the Himalaya Mountains, between the Beohar and the Rauzy rivers. The country is covered with wood. The fortress, which is situated in the northern part of the province, has long been celebrated. It was taken, A.D. 1010, by the famous Mahmoud of Ghizni, who plundered it of immense riches. It was retaken by the rajah of Delhi in 1443; and afterwards by the Emperor Akbar, after a very long siege, who conferred it on one of his officers, with the adjoining district. About the beginning of the present century it belonged to Sansa Chand, who ultimately surrendered it to Runjeet Singh. When the Punjab became a British possession, the vicinity of Kangrah was selected as one of the localities for the culture of the tea tree. The experiment was eminently successful, and an extensive plantation now covers the base of the Chamba range of hills. The fort of Kangrah is in Lat. 32°, E., Long. 76°, 18'.
