Gohilvad

Gohilvad was the land of the Gohil Rajputs on eastern Saurashtra. In 1337 their chief Mokhdaji held Umrala, Ghogha and Piram Island, and raided shipping.

His raids angered Delhi's Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq, who killed him and seized Ghogha and Piram in 1347. Mokhdaji's son Dungarji was later reinstated at Ghogha, while Visoji fortified Sihor as the clan's capital. In 1723 Bhavsinhji moved the seat to the new city of Bhavnagar.
