In the south-east of the Kâṭhiâwâṛ peninsula, at Talâjâ, near the mouth of the Satruṅji river, is an almost conical hill, called in Sanskrit Talugiri, and in modern vernacular parlance the Têkri of Talâjâ, crownfld by two modern Jaina temples—one on the vertex, and the other on a sort of shoulder on the west face. The town lies on the north and west, slopes near the base, and has the Talâjâ, a small feeder of the Satruṅji river, to the north of it.
