''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. ''

Village in the Kulu subdivision and tahsil of 
Kangra District, Punjab, situated in 32° 7' N. and 77° 14' E., on the 
left bank of the Beas river, 14 miles north of Sultanpur, the tahsil 
head-quarters. Population (1901), 591. Nagar was the capital of 
the Kulu Rajas, whose ancient palace crowns an eminence looking 
down upon the river from a height of about 1,000 feet, and is now 
used as the residence of the Assistant Commissioner, Kulu. It was 
greatly damaged by the earthquake of April 4, 1905. It commands 
a magnificent view, and itself forms a striking feature of the village. 
Nagar is also the head-quarters of the Kulu Forest division and of 
the Assistant Engineer, Kulu, and contains a post and telegraph office.
