Located on the Rajkot to Junagadh road on the River Gondali, is the town of Gondal. It was once the centre of a former prosperous princely state. The former rulers of Gondal were members of the Jadeja Rajput clan, said to be the descendants of Lord Krishna and the moon god who ruled the princely states of Kutch, Jamnagar, Rajkot and Gondal for more than 300 years. But it was in the late 19th century, early 20th century under Maharajah Bhagwat Sinhji that saw Gondal grow into one of the most progressive princely states in the region with an efficient system of a Tax-less economy, roads, railways, schools, hospitals, highways, sanitary drainage, irrigation and free compulsory education.
