The station is prettily laid out, and commands a fine view of the highest peaks of the Barail and of the surrounding ranges. The railway runs round Haflang hill in a loop nearly 10 miles in length, though the distance through the saddle is less than half a mile. The population in 1901 was 840.
Hagari (or Veddvati).—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.

Population (1901), 21,398. It is said to have been founded about 500 years ago by Haj! Ilyas, the supposed ramparts of whose fort enclosing an area of 360 blghas are still visible. The old town is said to have reached as far as Mehnar thatia, 20 miles to the east, and to a village called Gadaisarai on the north. Hajipur figured conspicuously in the history of the struggles between Akbar and his rebellious Afghan governors of Bengal, being twice besieged and captured by the imperial troops, in 1572 and again in T574. Its command of water traffic in three directions makes the town a place of considerable commercial impor tance. Moreover, it lies on the main line of the Bengal and North Western Railway, which runs west from Katihar, and it is also connected by a direct branch with Muzaffarpur town. Hajipur was constituted a municipality in T869. The area within municipal limits is

prisoners. Within
the area of the old fort is a small stone mosque, very plain but of peculiar architecture, attributed to Haj! Ilyas. Its top consists of three rounded domes, the centre one being the largest. They are built of horizontally placed rows of stones, each row being a circle and each circle being more contracted than the one immediately below it, until the keystone is reached, which is circular. Two other mosques and a small Hindu temple are in the town or its immediate vicinity. A Buddhist temple, surrounded by a sarai or resthouse, was built for the late Sir Jang Bahadur on the occasion of his visits from Nepal. Hajiwah.—Estate in the Mailsi tahsll of Multan District, Punjab, owned by the Khakwani family of Multan, with an area of 94 square miles. Deriving its name from Khakar, a village near Herat, or from an adventure in hunting the boar ([khok), the family first appeared in Multan
as companions of Humayun. A member
of it,
All Muhammad Khan, became subahdar of the province under Ahmad Shah Durrani, but was deposed in 1767. Under Muzaffar Khan, Ilaji Ali Muhammad Khan, a cadet of the family, was governor of Sikandar- abad ; and his son Mustafa Khan, one of Sawan Mai’s kardars,
8 JiAjIJVAIi supported the British during Miilraj’s rebellion, and as tahsildar of Mailsi rendered good service in the Mutiny. For this he received large grants of land. He also held a lease of the waste lands in the east of the Mailsi tahsi/, and to irrigate these constructed the Hajiwah canal, which, after his death in 1869, was completed by his son Ghulam Kadir Khan. In 1880, 60,000 acres of land irrigated by the canal were conferred on the latter in proprietary right, and this grant was confirmed by deed in 1S86. Under a clause in the deed Government took over the canal in 1888; but after litigation on this point, it was held by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in 1901 that the sons of Ghulam Kadir Khan were entitled to proprietary rights in the canal. Its management, however, is still in the hands of Government. The present holders of the estate, Muhammad Yar Khan, Ahmad Yar Khan, Hafiz Khuda Bakhsh Khan, and Hafiz Hamid Yar Khan, succeeded in 1888.

It is said to have been originally built by one Ubo Rishi, and to have been restored by Raghu Deb ( a . d . 1583) after it had been damaged by the Muhammadan general Kala Pahar. It is an object of veneration not only to Hindus but also to Buddhists, who visit it in considerable numbers, under the idea that it was at one time the residence of Buddha. The building has some claims to architectural beauty, but was damaged by the earthquake of 1897. A staff of dancing-girls is attached to the temple, and it enjoys a grant of revenue-free land of over 12,000 acres.

also celebrated, are manufactured. The new
town was built about 1800, in consequence of the old site, 2 miles distant, which is said to have been founded in 1422, being threatened with encroachment by the Indus.
