Nagnes

Nagnes was a settlement on the northern coast of Saurashtra, associated with the port and temple of Nagnath. In 1540 the Jadeja chief Jam Rawal founded Nawanagar here, between the Rangmati and Nagmati rivers. The new town became the capital of his state, later known as Jamnagar. Its position near the Gulf of Kutch connected the inland country of Halar with coastal trade and the communities of the sea.
