Gondal

Gondal lies in the interior of Saurashtra, on the banks of the Gondali River. It became the seat of a Jadeja Rajput state founded by Kumbhoji in 1634. Beginning with villages granted by his father, the ruling house established a local principality among the many chiefs of the peninsula. Its fort and court anchored authority over the surrounding agricultural country, while Gondal maintained connections with neighbouring states of Kathiawar.
