Morvi

Morvi stands on the Machhu River in northern Saurashtra, near the approaches to the Gulf of Kutch. Around 1698 it became the seat of a Jadeja Rajput principality established by Kanyoji, a member of the ruling family of Kutch. His new state emerged from a succession dispute across the gulf. The town and its river connected the inland settlements of the peninsula with the coastal country to the north.
