Kālaija (कालैज) is mentioned as a neighbouring village of Dīpakāgara, according to the “Dive Agar plate of Mummuṇirāja”. Kālaija is probably Kārlē about 3 km. almost due south of Divē Āgar.

This copper plate (mentioning Kālaija) was discovered at Dīve Āgar in the Śrīvardhana-tālukā of the Kolābā District in North Koṅkaṇ. It is dated on the fifth tithi of the dark fortnight of Āṣāḍha in the Śaka year 975, the cyclic year being Vijaya. Its object is to record a vyavasthā (settlement) in respect of the village Dīpakāgara together with its three hamlets, viz. Voritalī, Katila and Kalaija.
