This article has been extracted from THE IMPERIAL GAZETTEER OF INDIA , 1908. OXFORD, AT THE CLARENDON PRESS.

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.

Siron

Village in the Lalitpur tahsil of Jhansi District, United Provinces, situated in 24° 52' N. and 78° 20' E,, 12 miles north-west of Lalitpur town. The place is of importance for the ruins in the neigh- bourhood. Remains, chiefly of Jain buildings, are scattered about and have been used to construct modern temples. A large slab in one of these contains an inscription, dated a.d. 907, from which it appears that this tract of country was then subject to the rule of Kanauj.
