HAWELI OXJDHt Pargana— Tahsil Fyzabad—District

—

Fyzabad. Pargana Haweli Oudh, in the district of Fyzabad, takes its name from Oudh, the capital, and Haweli, the name generally used to indicate the

principal station of the chief revenue authorities of the Mughals. The pargana is bounded on the north and east by the river Gogra, on the

south by the river Madha and parganas Pachhimr^th and Amsin, and on the west by pargana Mangalsi. In former days the revenue collections of the pargana used to be made at the Qila-i-Mub£rak (blessed fort), which was situated at Lachhmanghat, where now stands the recently built temple of Jugla Saran. In the days of Mansfir Ali Khan (A.D 1739-54) they used to be made at Rath Haweli, and in the time of the Bahfi Begam at or near the Dilkusha, both of which latter places are in the city of Fyzabad.

The pargana differs from all others in the district, inasmuch as there never were any of the usual tappa subdivisions. It contained in the king's time 329 townships. These were reduced under summary settlement to 242 in number, and they have now been further cut down to 181 demarcated villages, under the re-distribution of the revised settlement. By Mr. A. Harington, C.S., Assistant Commissioner. tBy Mr. P. Carnegy, Commissioner. •
