The Vatrak is a tributary of the Sabarmati River which flows for 243 kilometers in Gujarat, India.[1] It originates in the hills of Dungarpur, Rajasthan and enters in Gujarat near village Moydi of Meghraj taluka.[1]

Basin[edit]

Vatrak run parallel to the Mahi River,[2] for about 29 km in Rajasthan, before entering the Sabarkantha district near village Moyedi.[citation needed] It runs in the southwest direction of the district, joining Mazum river near the district border with Kheda.[1] Near Untadiya village, Vatrak river meets Zanzari river and the Utkanteshwar Mahadev temple is located on the sangam (lit. 'confluence').[2]

The river joins Shedhi and Meshwo near Kheda[2] and finally drains into Sabarmati at Vautha near Dholka.[2]
