This article has been extracted from THE IMPERIAL GAZETTEER OF INDIA , 1908. OXFORD, AT THE CLARENDON PRESS.

Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Kuluha

Hill in the head-quarters subdivision of Hazaribagh District, Bengal, lying between 24° 16" and 24^" 27" N. and 84° 48' and 85° 6' E. It abounds with Buddhist relics, and has a temple dedicated to Buddha and impressions said to have been made by Buddha's feet. The inscriptions, which date between the eighth and twelfth centuries, appear to be almost exclusively Buddhist, but are in very bad order. The Brahmans have appropriated the sacred place of the Buddhists, and on the top of the hill is a temple of Durga called Kuleswari. Two fairs are held annually on the hill in the months of Chait and Aswin.
