Zahor (Tib ཟ་ཧོར་, Wyl. za hor) - An ancient kingdom thought to be located near the place known today as Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, northern India. Some have suggested that Zahor is a corruption of the Persian word Śahor, which means simply 'city', or that it is a degeneration of an Indian word and refers to the state of Bengal.
