Mokhadaji Gohil

Rajput bardic accounts make Mokhadaji Gohil a Gohil chief of Saurashtra, ruling from 1309 until his death in 1347. Son of Ranoji, he seized lands from the Vala Rajputs and the Kolis and took the port of Ghogha.

He then conquered Piram Island from the Baria Kolis and made it a base for piracy. His sea raids drew Delhi Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq, in Gujarat to quell a rebellion; in 1347, after hard fighting, Tughluq captured Ghogha and Piram and killed him.
