*Kullu*.—It is the Kulūta or Kaulūta of the Epics. The district of Kully in the upper valley of the Beas river exactly corresponds with the kingdom of Kiu-lu-to which is placed by Hiuen Tsang at 700 li or 117 miles to the north-east of Jālandhar (*C.A.G.I.*, 162ff.). Here Aśoka built a stūpa and there were twenty monasteries according to Hiuen Tsang. Traces of Buddhism are still visible there. For further details vide *Annual Report of the A.S.I.*, 1907-8, 261ff.
