Page scope
Pulga is the Locality page for the village near Barshaini in the upper Parvati Valley that gives its name to two accessions. It is not Pulgi (a hamlet in the Grahan side valley) or Pulag (a village above Naggar). The cannabis-terroir unit named after it is Pulga (appellation). The 2011 census does not enumerate the village separately.

Coordinates and elevation
- The infobox point, 31.9952, 77.4403, is the OpenStreetMap node for the village (node 245772916, place=village). SRTM gives 2,232 m there.
- The infobox range 2,130–2,232 m spans the 1917 gazetteer's 7,000 ft and the SRTM height at the node.
- The two accessions disagree with both. The Coco Genes listing gives 2,895 m at 31.999229, 77.44191 (SRTM 2,116 m there); COC-IND-HIM-0120200003 stores 2895 at a rounded 32.00, 77.44. The Landrace Mafia seller gives 2,250 m at 31.9828, 77.4371 (SRTM 2,755 m there) and names the place "Sosan, Fairy Forest". Neither is used for the range.
- OpenStreetMap places the hamlets Kalga (node 756382656) and Tulga (node 773592955) close to Pulga.
Source notes
- Diack (1897) and the 1917 gazetteer are read from full OCR transcriptions made in August 2026; the "Phulga hamlet" boundary marker is item 6 of the 1876 forest notification in Diack's appendix. The identification of Phulga with Pulga rests on the spelling.
- The 1917 gazetteer's Pulga height is a route-table value, not a quotation.
- The Tribune (4 November 2023) places the dam "near Pulga village" and the tunnel "between Barshaini and Siund villages". NHPC's project page gives the dam's dimensions but names no village.
- The Wikipedia article on Pulga gives a coordinate in its geography section that disagrees with its own infobox. It is not used.
Other reports
- Press reports of a 2022 rave-party raid in a forest near Pulga and of a tourist's death at a guesthouse in 2025 name private people and are not used.
