Bhayavadar is a town and a municipality in Rajkot district in the Indian state of Gujarat.

History[]

At the collapse of the Mughal Empire, Bhayavadar fell into the hands of the Desais, who in about 1753 sold it to Jadeja Haloji of Gondal State. The Tarikh-i-Sorath says that Kumbhoji acquired Bhayavadar but probably he openly assumed the sovereignty while the sale took place in Haloji' s time. Bhayavadar is about eleven miles north of the Bhadar river, which is crossed by the bridge built by the Gondal Darbar at Supedi.[1]
