''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. ''

=Hinglaj =
The best-known place of pilgrimage in Baluchistan,
situated in 25° 30' N. and 65° 31' E., below the peak of the same
name on the banks of the Hingol river in the Las Bela State. The
shrine, which is dedicated to a goddess known as Nani by Muham-
madans and ParbatI, Kali, or Mata by Hindus, lies in a verdant basin
and consists of a low castellated mud edifice in a natural cavity.
A flight of steps leads to a deeper semicircular cleft through which
pilgrims creep on all fours. Bands of pilgrims, each conducted by
a leader known as an agiva, make the journey by land from Karachi.
Fees are collected at Miani by a bhdrti or hereditary examiner, on
behalf of the Las Bela officials, from all except devotees and unmarried
girls. The proceeds yield about Rs. 600 to the State annually.
