Chhaya

Chhaya lies near the coast of western Saurashtra, inland from Porbandar. It was a seat of the Jethwa rulers after their earlier centres at Ghumli and Ranpur. The family later shifted its capital to the port of Porbandar, where maritime trade offered access to the Arabian Sea. Chhaya remained part of the Jethwa domain, linking the coastal town with the agricultural and hilly country behind it.
