Limbdi

Limbdi was the seat of a Jhala Rajput ruling house in eastern Saurashtra. The surrounding country formed part of Jhalavad, a region where related Jhala families held a number of small states. Tradition places the establishment of their rule at Limbdi around the beginning of the sixteenth century. The chiefs maintained their court among the larger powers of Gujarat, later acknowledging the authority of its Mughal governors and the British.
