Dear colleagues,

Has anyone been to Balrampur in UP?  I am interested in possible Sanskrit MS collections there.  There's a famous list of manuscripts made in about 1880 by Rajarama Shastri of the 2744 manuscripts belonging formerly to Pandit Radhakrishna of Lahore.  Aufrecht's "Rādh."  There's some evidence that these manuscripts may have moved to the Maharaja's collection in Balrampur.

Can anyone throw any light on Balrampur, from personal experience?

Does anyone have a connection to the present Maharaja, who is, I believe, Maharaja Dharmendra Pratap Singh?

Many thanks,
Dominik
