=Bali, Jodhpur =
Head-quarters of a district of the same name in the State of 
Jodhpur, Rajputana, situated in 25 n' N. and 73 18' E., 1,013 f eet 
above the sea, about 5 miles south-east of Falna station on the Raj- 
putana-Malwa Railway. Population (1091), 5,186. The town of Bali 
is walled, and possesses a fort in good repair, a post office, a vernacular 
school, and a hospital with accommodation for 6 in-patients. About 
10 miles to the south, near the village of Bijapur, are the remains of an 
ancient city called Hathundi or Hastikundi, the earliest seat of the 
Rathor Rajputs in Rajputana. A stone inscription found here bears 
date a. d. 997, and tells of five Rathor Rajas who ruled at this place in 
the tenth century. The district of Bali, which, with that of Desuri, 
forms the tract known as Godwar, was formerly held by the Chauhans, 
and next by the Ranas of Udaipur. It passed finally into the possession 
of the Jodhpur chiefs about the end of the eighteenth century.
