KISHANGARH

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 836 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KISHANGARH , a native state of India, in the Rajputana agency. Area, 858 sq. m.; pop. (1901), 90,970, showing a decrease of 27% in the decade, due to the
famine
  of 18991900; estimated revenue, 34,000; there is no
tribute
 . The state was founded in the reign of the emperor
Akbar
 , by a younger son of the raja of Jodhpur. In 1818 Kishangarh first came into direct relations with the British government, by entering into a treaty, together with the other Rajput states, for the suppression of the Pindari marauders by whom the country was at that time overrun. The
chief
 , whose title is maharaja, is a Rajput of the Rathor clan. Maharaja Madan Singh ascended the throne in 1900 at the age of sixteen, and attended the Delhi
Durbar
  of 1903 as a
cadet
  in the Imperial
Cadet
  Corps. The administration, under the diwan, is highly spoken of. Irrigation from tanks and wells has been extended; factories for ginning and pressing
cotton
  have been started; and the social reform
movement
 , for discouraging excessive expenditure on marriages, has been very successful. The state is traversed by the Rajputana railway. The town of KISHANGARH IS 18 m. N.W. of Ajmere by rail. Pop. (1901), 12,663. It is the residence of many Jain merchants.
