or BAGHELUND, an independent state of India, bounded on the N. by the British districts of Allahabad and Mirzapore, E. by the latter and the native state Korca, S. by the British districts of Sobagepoor and Saugor and Nerbudda, and W. by that of Saugor and Nerbudda and by Bundelcund, lying between N. Lat. 23. 20. and 25. 10., E. Long. 80. 40. and 82. 52.; length, from E. to W., about 140 miles; breadth, 120; area, 9827 square miles. A considerable part of the country, its western and north-western portion, is occupied with hills, rising in three successive terraces from the level of the plain. The first of these averages from 500 to 530 feet high, the second from 900 to 1200 feet, and the third attains a still greater height. Sandstone, limestone, schist, and quartz are the principal geological constituents of the hills. Most of Rewah belongs to the valley of the Son, an affluent of the Ganges, which flows through the country in an irregular course generally towards the N. and E., receiving from the left the Mahanuddie, and various smaller streams from both sides. The north-western portion is very well cultivated, and produces large crops; wheat, barley, and peas being chiefly raised. Cattle and sheep are kept in large numbers. Much of the surface, however, is unfit for cultivation, and a great part is occupied by wood, which furnishes timber to the British districts in the valley of the Ganges. The inhabitants are Rajpoots, and of the Brahminical religion; they are governed by a rajah, who is bound by treaty, since 1818, to receive a permanent British agent. His revenue is estimated at L200,000, and his military force exceeds 8000 men. Pop. 1,200,000. The capital is a town of the same name, on the Behar, an affluent of the Tons, which flows into the Ganges, 131 miles S.W. of Allahabad. The town is inclosed by two lofty and thick walls, flanked with towers, and the large ruinous palace of the rajah by a third of similar construction. It is a mean and poor-looking place, with a population of 7000.
