''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. ''

It is drained by the Kali Sind, Chambal, and Parbati rivers, with 
the minor tributary streams of the Lakundar and Newaj. Shajapur 
is divided into six parganas, with head-quarters at Shajapur, Shujal-
