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.
Rajula
Town in the State of Bhaunagar, Kathiawar, Bombay, situated in 21 3' N. and 71 30' E. Population (1901), 5,150. Rajula has for many years been a centre of local trade, and its build- ing stone is largely used in the State. About 8 miles north-east of the town is the striking hill of Babariadhar, crowned by a rude stone fort, which half a century ago was a favourite haunt of lions. The exports consist chiefly of cotton and building- stone, and the imports of grain, timber, and piece-goods.
