== History ==<br />
<br />
The Malla Puranam text describes area history. It may be dated to 13th century using a linguistic analysis of [[Jain]] texts.{{sfn|Sandesra|Mehta|1964|p= 6}} However it is argued that it may belong to the 15th century since Vaishnavism became common in [[Gujarat]] as a result of the rise of [[Pushtimarga]] in the 15th century.{{sfn|Sandesra|Mehta|1964|p=7}} Malla Puranam can be regarded to be a Caste Purana.<ref>{{cite journal|title=A Sociological Approach to the Caste Puranas : A Case Study |first=Veena<br />
