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.

Hagari

(or V^edavati). — A river of Southern India, formed by two streams, the Veda and Avati, which rise in the Baba Budan hills (Mysore), and after feeding the large Ayyankere and Madagkere tanks, thereby irrigating much land, unite to the east of Kadur (13° 32' N. and 76° 6' E.). The united stream then runs north-east through Chitaldroog District, where it is dammed to form the great Mari Kanave reservoir, which is 34 square miles in extent, with 70 miles of distributary channels. East of Hiriyur the river, which now takes the name of Hagari, turns north and passes into the Bellary District of Madras, the eastern portion of which it drains. It flows into the Tungabhadra by Halekota after a course of 280 miles.
