The princely state, in Gohelwar prant, was ruled by Chavada Rajput Chieftains. During the British Raj, it was in the charge of the colonial Eastern Kathiawar Agency.
It comprised only the single village, with a population of 102 in 1901, yielding 1,250 Rupees state revenue (1903-4, all from land), paying 154 Rupees tribute to the British and Junagadh State.
It was a separate tribute paying state under the Babra thana during British period. The ruling Garasias were Chavda Rajputs and this was the only independent Chavda holding in Saurashtra.[1]
