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.

River of Hyderabad State, rising in the Anantagiri hills in the Patlur Taluk of the Atraf-i-balda District. It flows almost due east for a distance of 1 1 2 miles, when it receives the Aler on the left, near Chittur, and thence flows in a south-easterly direction until it falls into the Kistna, after a total course of about 150 miles. Several channels have been made at different parts of the course of this river, which act as feeders for large tanks or supply direct irrigation. The city of Hyderabad stands on its right bank.
