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.

Kachola

An estate in the north-east of the State of Udaipur, Rajputana, held by the Raja Dhiraj of Shahpura as a grant from the Maharana, on payment of a tribute of about Rs. 2,400 and the per- formance of service. The nature of the service to be performed has long been in dispute ; but it has recently been decided that the Raja Dhiraj is to send his usual quota of troops for three months every year to Udaipur, and is himself to attend for one month at the same place every alternate year, generally at the Dasahra festival. The estate consists of 90 villages with (1901) 12,515 inhabitants, the majority of whom are Jats, Gujars, Rajputs, and Brahmans. The head-quarters are at the small town of Kachola, situated in 25 degree 24' N. and 75 degree 8' E., 3 miles east of the Ban&s river, about 100 miles north-east of Udaipur city and 20 miles south-east of the town of Shahpura.
