The Rājas of Kaṅgra or Jālandhara ruled the district known as Trigarta lying between the Rāvi and the Satlaj and were probably feudatories of their more powerful neighbours, the extent of their kingdom varying from time to time. They lost their fort of Kaṅgra to the Muḥammadans in the reign of Muḥammad ibn Tughlaq, but forty years later, at the time of Tīmūr's invasion, they regained their independence and kept it until the time of Akbar, when they again became feudatories of the Delhī Empire.—CASR. v, 145 ff.
