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.

Lakshmantirtha

Tributary of the Cauvery in Mysore. It rises in Brahmagiri, on the southern frontier of Coorg, and runs north-east through the Hunsur taluk of Mysore District into the Cauvery, beyond Sagarkatte, at the common boundary of the Mysore and Yedatore taluks, after a course of about 70 miles. It is a peren- nial stream, with seven dams in Mysore, from which are drawn channels 133 miles in length, irrigating nearly 8,000 acres.
