== Halali River ==

The Halali River is a tributary of the [[Betwa River]]. It was formerly known as Thal River. In the 18th century, [[Dost Mohammad Khan, Nawab of Bhopal|Dost Mohammad Khan]]'s forces killed a rival [[Rajput]] force near Jagdishpur (later renamed to [[Islamnagar, Bhopal|Islamnagar]]) on the bank of the river. The river was renamed to "[[Halal]]i river" (the river of slaughter), because it appeared red with the blood of the victims.<ref name="Shaharyar_Begums_2000">{{cite book | title = The Begums of Bhopal | author = Shaharyar M.
