Lādha or Rāḍha, which comprised the modern District of Hoogly, Howrah, Bankura, Burdwan and the east portion of Midnapur, was included among the sixteen *Janapadas*. This country was divided into Vajjabhūmi and Subbhabhūmi. It is said that there were very few villages in this country and its inhabitants were generally hostile to the ascetics. Mahāvīra travelled in this country and had to undergo much suffering.
