Talk:Khandallah

Origins

How does 'Khandallah' translate to "resting place of god"; there is a 'Khandela' in India and Khan/Khand/Dallah/Allah all translate, but to my understanding the current spelling points to "King of the coffee pot" as a valid translation. Book_M (talk) August 2008

Being once a native of Bombay, I am more familiar with Khandala, a hill station that has an army cantonment nearby and was spelt 'Khandallah' in the British days. 'Khand' in Marathi and Sanskrit refers to a land division. The large cantonment at Poona (as Pune was known then) was not far away, so soldiers would have stopped en route to Bombay. I am surprised to read that the Wellington suburb was named after an obscure town in Rajasthan that was named after an ancient king and does not particularly mean something.. It was not noted as a British army cantonment.
