RASALPUR.
Rasalpur (Raver Taluka: 21°45' N, 73°00' E; R. S. Raver,
m. 4; p. 2,071), about a mile from Raver town, with which it is generally associated by the people, was formerly an important place. At present it contains the remains of a Musalman mansion surrounded by a ruined fort 336 feet long by 300 broad. The mansion, said to have been built by one Diwan Saheb, the proprietor of the village, is also in ruins. [In 1820, when the hills had to be held against Khan Mia Naik and his Bhil gang. a detachment of British troops was quartered in this mansion.] Outside the fort a handsome tomb, said to have been raised over the founder of the village, is still revered both by Musalmans and Hindus.
