''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. ''

=Sujanpur Tira=

Village in the Hamirpur tahsil of Kangra 
District, Punjab, situated in 31° 50' N. and 76° 31' E., on the Beas. 
Population (1901), 5,267. The place derives the second part of its 
name from the Tira or 'palace' commenced by Abhaya Chand, the 
Katoch king of Kangra, in 1758. His grandson, Sujan Chand, founded 
the town, and Sansar Chand, the great Katoch ruler, completed it and 
held his court here. The site is picturesque, with a fine parade-ground 
and grassy plain surrounded by trees ; but the palace, a highly finished 
building of regal proportions, has fallen into disrepair since the Katoch 
family took up its residence in Lambagraon.
