Nandod

Nandod stands near the Narmada River in the hilly country of Rajpipla. It became the seat of the Gohil rulers of Rajpipla, whose territory extended through the hills between the Narmada and Tapti rivers. The ruling house moved its residence from the older hill capital to Nandod in the eighteenth century. From this new seat the chiefs governed a landscape of wooded uplands and river valleys, negotiating their position among the stronger powers of Gujarat.
