'''Pavagadh''' is an ancient Triassic Period location with Enriched History from periods of Treta & Dwapar Era.

In Present day, Pavagadh is a Municipality operated region in [[Panchmahal district]] about {{convert|46|km|mi|0}} away from [[Vadodara]] in [[Gujarat]] state in western [[India]]. It is known for a famous [[Mahakali]] temple which draws thousands of pilgrims every day. It is a tribal area populated predominantly by the Rathwas. The area of this locality [[Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park]] was inscribed by [[UNESCO]] as a [[World Heritage Site]] in 2004.<ref>[https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1101 Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park]</ref>

==History==
It is said that king [[Vanraj Chavda]] established [[Champaner]] at the foot of Pavagadh in fond memory of his wise minister Champa. Later, the Patai Raval family ruled it and took care of the boundary. The [[Folklore|folk tale]]s say that Mahakali assumed the form of a woman and danced in a [[Garba (dance)|Garba]] during [[Navaratri]]. The last Patai, Jaisinh watched her with dirty looks. The deity became angry at Jaisinh and cursed him that the town will fall. The [[Muslim]] emperor of [[Gujarat]], [[Mahmud Begada]] assaulted Pavagadh and won the hill on the boundary in the 15th century.

Patai was defeated and killed. [[Mahmud Begada]] shifted his capital from [[Ahmedabad]] to Champaner for some time for reasons of diplomacy. He developed the town by constructing buildings such as the fort of Champaner, Uohra mosque, Mandavi, Kirtistambh, the temple of Shalkh, Jama Masjid, Nagina Mosque, and Kevda Mosque. The remains of the Palace of Begada are still found near Vad Talav (Banyan Pond) two kilometers (1.25 miles) away from Champaner by road.

The government has granted many concessions and offered subsidies to the new industries coming up in this area. As a result of it, [[Halol]] and [[Kalol (Panchmahal)|Kalol]] towns near Pavagadh have turned into virtual industrial estates. A film studio at Halol has this added advantage.

==Geography==
[[File:Path on Pavadagh hill.JPG|thumb|[[Pavagadh Hill]]'s Footsteps]]
Pavagadh is the gateway to [[Panchmahal]]. The locations of hilly areas around [[Halol]] provide good scenery. [[Pavagadh Hill]] has total height of 822 meters and you can find many scenic trails to climb including waterfalls during monsoon time. On the hill's eastern side, the Rangpur [[Ashram]] run by Mr. Hari Parikh works towards the upliftment of the local tribals. The plateau at an altitude of 490 meters is known as Machi [[Haveli]]. The bus service has been extended up to Machi.
