Virasimhadeva

Virasimhadeva was a Guhila Maharawal of Vagad in the Dungarpur line, ruling from its early capital Baroda. Sanskrit inscriptions style him maharajakula of Vatapadraka; the earliest, dated 1287, records a land grant for his predecessor Devapaladeva, and the last is dated 1302.

Later tradition holds that he killed Dungaria, an independent Bhil chieftain, and founded the town named after him, Dungarpur. His grandson Dungarasimha, who gave the state its name, succeeded him as Rawal.
