A village in Fars, 30 miles by road west of Shiraz on the Bushire road.
It consists of 200 houses on the banks of a fine stream, which is here a
tributary of the Kara Aghach river.' The latter river is some 5 miles
distant, and is crossed by a stone bridge. 2,000 mules would find bhusd
and barley here daily, 500 mules on an average are said to halt here every
day. Firewood is plentiful and the water of the stream is excellent. There
are two caravanserai A roadside inn providing accommodation for caravans (groups of travellers). here ; one in a white quadrilateral built about 1860 by
the Mushir-ul-Mulk, Yazir of Fars. Felly thinks this the most suitable spot
between Bushire and Shiraz for the cantonment of European troops, as
it is some 100 feet higher than Shiraz and the situation is open and well-
watered. The small plain on which it is situated is mostly cultivated and
enclosed on every side by low hills. From 5,000 to 8,000 men might easily
encamp on the plain and along the banks of the river, the bed of which is
broad and full of jungle. Taylor mentions that in May there was ice at this
place. For medical considerations, vide this Gazetteer —Shiraz. On the
road between here and Shiraz, Corporal Collins,. R. E., with his wife and
attendants was attacked by a band of robbers and killed in 1871, but not
before the Corporal had accounted for 2 or 3 of his assilants. The
inhabitants possess 25 Martinis.— (Clark — Jones—Petty — laylor St. John
