Chavda Dynasty ruled over Gujarat during the Medieval Age.
Anhilpur (or Anhilwad) Patan was the capital of its kingdom.
The Chavdas ruled over Panchaser region.
The King of Chavda Dynasty, Jaishikhari, died in a battle and became a martyr.
Later, his son Vanraj Chavda regained the ruined kingdom of Chavda Dynasty and set up its capital in Anhilwad Patan on the banks of river Saraswati.
It is believed that Vanraj’s friend Anil helped him regain his father’s lost kingdom and so Vanraj renamed the capital of his kingdom Patan as Anhilwad Patan.
The Chavda Dynasty ruled for 196 years in Gujarat.
