''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. ''

of Bharatpur, Rajputana, situated in 27° 19' N. and 77° 23' E., about
II miles northwest of Bharatpur city. Population (1901), 6,240. The
town is surrounded by a mud wall and ditch, and possesses a post and
telegraph office, a vernacular school attended by about 130 boys, and

Kumbha, a Jat of the village of Sinsini, about 6 miles to the north-west.
The palace and fort were built by Maharaja Badan Singh about 1724,
and thirty years later the place was unsuccessfully besieged by the
Marathas, when Khande Rao Holkar, the son of Malhar Rao, was
killed. His cenotaph, erected by his widow, .\halya Bai, at the village
of Gangarsoli, 3 miles to the north, is still maintained by the Indore
State.
