A walled town on the eastern frontier of Persian Sistan, and the site of the
mausoleum of Alam Khan, founder of the Nahrui colony in Sistan, and of his
son Dost Muhammad. The town is built on the slope of a high clay bank that
bounds the low ground to the northward. The walls are crenellated and loop-
holed ; but, from the situation of the town, the upper portion is commanded
over the walls from the low ground to the east. The houses are crowded toge
ther in a confused jumble of domed huts, and are overlooked by the citadel
built on an eminence at the north-west angle. The town is said to shelter
four hundred families, and has a very prosperous appearance. The banks
of the canal on which it lies are here some 100 yards apart; though the deep
channel is only about 35 yards wide. Hugging the right bank, the water
flows with a rapid current. It is unfordable. The place is also known as
Kala-i-Kodun or Burj-i-Kuhma; both signifying the old fort.— {Bellew,
