BAGH-I-BADRAN— Lat. 32° 25' N. ; Long. 51° 15' E. ; Elev. 6,000'.
A large village of 300 houses, on the right bank of the Zindeh Rud, 25
miles from Julfa (Isfahan) on the Shushtar road. The Zindeh Rud is now
crossed by a raft between this village and Malikabad on the left bank since
the bridge at Challa, Pul-i-Kaleh, has been carried away (in spring 1884).
To cross the river ( 20 th May), here 150 to 20(Xfeet wide, and 6 to 10 feet
deep, with a rapid current, it was necessary to pass upstream about a mile
and cross on a raft manoeuvred by two ropes and five men on each side of
the stream. The volume of water is greater here than at Isfahan,
much being taken off downstream in irrigation. It took an hour to make
six trips with a raft, and three-quarters of an hour to swim 10 animals over.
During the early spring the river is 600 or 700 yards wide and 10 to 15 feet
deep. The Pul-i-Zaman Khan is 20 to 25 miles distant to the west.
On the left bank barren, rocky hills, 100 feet high, border the river ; on
the right the banks are low, 3 feet above level of the water (20th May).
Sandy, well-cultivated and irrigated ; poppies, corn and rice grow luxuriant
ly. The valley is under a mile broad. The river water is cool and pleasant
to drink, but requires filtering. The village is taxed to the extent of 1,700
tumdns yearly. The headman stated that not only his own village but all
in his district were ruined by excessive taxation and the dry season of 1883.
Snow rarely falls here. Rice crops ripen in November. The villages about
contain many pigeon towers.— (Bell — Schindler.)
