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.

Rambha

Village m the Ganjam tahsil of Ganjam District, Madras, situated in 19 31' N. and 85 7' E,, on the trunk road and on the banks of the Chilka Lake. Population (1901), 4,028. While Ganjam was still the head-quarters of the District and contained a garrison, Rambha was a favourite resort of the Europeans who lived there ; and a large two-storeyed house, built by a former Collector in 1792 and now belonging to the Raja of Kallikota, stands in a beautiful situation overlooking the Chilka Lake. The chief trade consists in the impor- tation of large quantities of rice from Orissa by boats across the lake and the exportation of prawns to Rangoon.
