Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Town in the Katol tahsil of Nagpur District, Central Provinces, situated in 21° 27' N. and 78 degree 53' E., 28 miles from Nagpur city on the Chhindwara road. The name is probably an abbrevia- tion from keljhar, 'a plantain-tree,' as plantain groves were formerly numerous here. Population (1901), 5,141. The town contains an old fort. It is not a municipality, but a town fund is raised for sanitary purposes. A cotton-ginning factory has recently been opened. The chief local industry is the manufacture of large brass water-vessels.
