Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KARAULI, or KEROWLEE , a native state of India, in the Rajputana agency. Area, 1242 sq. m.; pop. (1901), 156,786; estimated revenue about 330,000. Almost the entire territory is composed of hills and broken ground, but there are no lofty peaks, the highest having an
elevation
  of less than 1400 ft. above sea-level. The Chambal river flows along the south-east boundary of the state. Iron ore and building stone comprise the
mineral
  resources. The prevailing agricultural products are millets, which form the staple food of the people. The only manufactures consist of a little weaving, dyeing,
wood
 -turning and stone-cutting. The principal imports are piece goods, salt, sugar,
cotton
 , buffaloes and bullocks; the exports rice and goats. The feudal aristocracy of the state consists of Jadu Rajputs connected with the ruling
house
 . They pay a tribute in lieu of constant military service, but in case of emergency or on occasions of state display they are bound to attend on the
chief
  with their retainers. The maharaja is the head of the clan, which claims descent from Krishna. Maharaja Bhanwar Pal Deo, who was born in 1862 and succeeded in 1866, was appointed G. C.I.E. in 1897, on the occasion of Queen Victoria's diamond
jubilee
 .
The town of KARAULI had a population in 1901 of 23,482. It dates from 1348, and is well situated in a position naturally defended by ravines on the north and east, while it is further protected by a great
wall
 . The palace of the maharaja is a handsome
block
  of buildings dating mainly from the middle of the 18th century.
