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.

Hole-Narsipur Taluk

South-eastern taluk of Hassan District, Mysore, lying between 12° 36' and 12" 56' N. and 76^ 9' and 76° 22' E., with an area of 233 square miles. The population in 1901 was 57,149, compared with 50,894 in 1891. The tdli/k contains one town, Hole- Narsipur (population, 6,526), the head-quarters; and 238 villages. The land revenue demand in 1903-4 was Rs. 87,000. The Hemavati river runs through the north, and turning south forms part of the eastern boundary. Two channels, 47^ miles and 12 miles long, drawn from the Sriramadeva dam, irrigate 5,020 acres. Except for this the taluk is sterile, the soil being generally very poor, with bleak uplands in the south. Near Hole-Narsipur are a few isolated hills.
