a town of British India, in one of the districts of Hyderabad, ceded by the Nizam to the British government, 245 miles N. of Hyderabad, and 350 N.E. of Bombay. It is of great commercial importance on account of the cotton grown in the surrounding districts, which is conveyed to the town, there cleaned, and sent for exportation to Bombay and Calcutta. Many mercantile firms are established here; and most of the great houses in Upper India have either branches or correspondents at Oomrawutte. This place enjoys great advantages on account of its freedom from transit duties; and will, before long, be connected with Bombay by a line of railway.
