Tora, 18 kos from Bayana, with several villages under it, yields only about 200 bales annually; the indigo is brown rather than violet in colour, and the balls are made much smaller than elsewhere. Other places also yield large quantities of indigo, such as Koil or Gorsa, which lies 30 kos from Agra on the other side of the river. Most of its produce is bought up by Armenian, Lahore, and Kabuli merchants; it is good indigo, but has not such a reputation as that of Bayana, and consequently is not bought by us or by the English. A few bales ought to be purchased for a trial, so that our employers may be able to judge of the difference in the market and in dyeing, but it could not be done this year owing to lack of funds; if it should prove satisfactory, we should not be so closely restricted to the produce of Bayana. Taking one year with another, the yield is 1000 bales. - [Previous: 4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.pelsaert~en-moreland.4.7) - [Next: 4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.pelsaert~en-moreland.4.9) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.pelsaert~en-moreland.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.pelsaert~en-moreland.4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.pelsaert~en-moreland.4.8) · Pramāṇa
