Chamardi (or Chamardi Vacchani) is a large village located within the Vallabhipur Taluka township of the Bhavnagar district (Gujarat), in West India. It was formerly a part of Rajput princely state.
Chamardi was one of many tribute-paying princely states in the Gohilwar prant. Chamardi was under the Eastern Kathiawar Agency's colonial authority and was ruled by Gohil Rajput Chieftains from the Bhayat dynasty of the Bhavnagar State. It was the headquarters of a thana Agency.
In 1877, the population of the village was 2,371. By 1881, the population had decreased to 2,117. [1] In 1901, Chamardi had a population of 2,168 with a state revenue of 10,000 Rupees, and was paying a tribute of 858 Rupees to the Gaekwar Baroda State and Junagadh State.
Historically, Chamardi was one of many native 'princely states' under the authority of the Eastern Kathiawar Agency.
Modern-day Chamardi is a large village with a population of 4804 persons in 953 families. The male to female ratio of the village is 1,921 males to 1,737 females. [2]
Chamardi has an elevation of 37 meters above sea level and is at the foot of several high trachyte peaks. The lower boulders, most of which are water-worn, suggests that the region was once covered by a shallow sea. The Kalobhar River used to flow two miles northwest of the village, until about half a century ago when the river changed its course; it now flows about half a mile to the south. [1]
Chamardi is located in Vallabhipur Taluka, a township within the Bhavnagar district. Electorally, Chamardi is part of the Bhavnagar parliamentary constituency and Gadhada assembly constituency.
