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.
[edit] Payanghat
The name given in Berar to the valley of the Puma river, the principal affluent of the Tapti. The valley lies between the Melghat or Gawilgarh hills on the north and the Ajanta range on the south, and varies in breadth from 40 to 50 miles. Except the Purna, which is the main artery of the river system, scarcely a stream in this tract is perennial.
