The river Shatrunji flows about one mile to the north of the village. It is an ancient village and is famous as having been the site of a temple of the Khodiar Mata in the time of Ra Navghan I of Junagad, who was carried here by his nurse when an infant at the time Junagadh was taken and Ra Dyas slain by the king of Anhilwad Patan.
