This article appears in Volume V17, Page 564 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MANDI , a native state of India, within the Punjab. It ranks as the most important of the hill states to which British influence extended in 1846 after the first
Sikh
  War. The territory lies among the lower ranges of the Himalaya, between Kangra and Kulu. The country is mountainous, being intersected by two
great
  parallel ranges, reaching to an
average
  height of 5000 to 7000 ft. above sea-level. The valleys between the hill ranges are fertile, and produce all the
ordinary
  grains, besides more valuable crops of
rice
 , maize, sugar-cane, poppy and tobacco. Iron is found in places, and also gold in small quantities. Area, 1200 sq. m.; pop. (1901), 174,045; estimated revenue, 28,000;
tribute
 , 6666. The
chief
 , whose title is raja, is a Rajput of old family. Considerable sums have been expended on roads and bridges. An important product of the state is salt, which is
mined
  in two places.
The town of Mandi is on the
Beas
 , which is here a mountain torrent, crossed by a fine iron bridge; 2991 ft. above sea-level; 88 m. from Simla. Pop. (1901), 8144. It was founded in 1527, and contains a palace of the 17th century and other buildings of
interest
 . It is a mart for transfrontier trade with Tibet and Yarkand.
See Mandi State Gazetteer (Lahore, 1908).
