  • The Rajmahal Hills are located in the Santhal Pargana division of Jharkhand, India. They were located on the northern margin of the Gondwana supercontinent, and its hills are today inhabited by the Sauria Paharia people whilst its valleys are dominated by the Santhal people. The hills span over an area of 2,600 km2 (1,000 sq mi). Volcanic activity during the Jurassic resulted in the formation of the Rajmahal Traps. The hills are approximately located at 25°N 87°E / 25°N 87°E. The Rajmahal hills are named after the town of Rajmahal which lies in the eastern Jharkhand. The hills trend north-south with an average elevation of 200–300 m (660–980 ft), from the Sahibganj district to the Dumka district. The River Ganges wanders around the hills changing the direction of flow from east to south. Francis Buchanan-Hamilton travelled through the Rajmahal hills in the early 19th century. He described the hills that seemed impenetrable in a zone where few travellers had been. He wrote that everywhere people were hostile, apprehensive of officials and unwilling to talk and, in some cases, left their villages and absconded. (en)
  • Les Rajmahal Hills sont un massif montagneux situé au Jharkhand, un état à l'Est de l'Inde. Ce massif est nommé d'après la plus grande ville de la région Rajmahal. Ce massif est issue de l'activité volcanique du Jurassique. L'altitude moyenne du massif est de 1 000 mètres. Elles forment une barrière naturelle que longe le Gange lorsque celui-ci coule vers l'est et qu'il contourne en direction du sud vers de l'océan Indien. * Portail de la montagne * Portail de l’Inde (fr)
