Excerpt:
Rani Karnavati is said to have orchestrated a number of
hydraulic constructions, the most noted of which was an
irrigation system that prevented the water from sinking
underground as it exited the hill into the gravels
leading to the valleys. This allowed agricultural
development that allowed an efflorescence of several
towns in the region.
This consequently fed a local Hindu revival which was
mainly seen in the form of various productions of certain
tantrika, legal, and medical texts under the patronage of
this dynasty. Monuments erected by her still exist in
Dehradun District at Nawada, she is also credited with the
construction of the Rajpur Canal, the earliest of all the
Dun canals, which starts from the Rispana River and
brings its waters till the city of Dehradun. Rispana
River is one of the tributaries of Song River that drains
the central and eastern part of the Doon Valley.
