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.

Teliagarhi

Pass in the Santal Parganas District, Bengal, lying between the Rajmahal hills on the south and the Ganges on the north, and formerly of great strategic importance as commanding the military approaches to Bengal. The ruins of a large stone fort still exist, through which the East Indian Railway passes ; the fort, which seems never to have been completed, was constructed in the eighteenth century by a Teli zamindar who was forcibly converted by the Muhammadans.
