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.

Laling

Ruined hill fort in West Khandesh District, Bombay, situated in 20*^ 49' N. and 74"^ 45' E., 6 miles south of Dhulia. The fact that this, and not Thalner, was granted to his eldest son, would seem to show that Laling was the chief fort of Malik Raja (1370-99), the first of the Faruki kings ; and here in 1437 Nasir Khan and his son Miran Adil Khan were besieged by the Bahmani general till relieved by the advance of an army from Gujarat. Early in the seventeenth century (1629-31) the fort is more than once mentioned in connexion with the movements of the Mughal troops in their campaigns against the Deccan. Besides the fort, there are two small Hemadpanti shrines and a square Hemadpanti well.
