Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BER-BLA
BEZWADA , a town of British India, in the Kistna
district
  of
Madras
 , on the left bank of the river Kistna, at the head of its
delta
 . Pop. (1901) 24,224. Here are the headquarters of the Kistna canal
system
 , which irrigates more than 500,000 acres, and also provides navigation throughout the
delta
 . The anicut or dam at. Bezwada, begun in 1852, consists of a
mass
  of rubble, fronted with masonry, 1240 yds.
long
 . Here also is the central junction of the
East
 
Coast
  railway from
Madras
  to Calcutta, 267 M. from Madras, where one branch line comes down from the Warangal coalfield in the
Nizam
 's Dominions, and another from Bellary on the Southern Mahratta line. Ancient cuttings on the hills west of Bezwada have been held by some to mark the site of a Buddhist monastery; by others they are considered to have been quarries. At Undavalle to the
south
  are some noted cave-shrines.
