Jhulasan (Gujarati: ઝુલાસણ Jhulāsaṇ) is a small village located in district of Mehsana, Kadi Taluka in the state of Gujarat, India.
According to Hasmukh Dhirajlal Sankalia, the name Jhulāsaṇ may be identical to the Kūlāvasaṇa mentioned in medieval epigraphy. Assuming this is the case, then the name is ultimately derived from Sanskrit vasaṇa, meaning "dwelling" or "residence" (of either an individual or a group). [1] : 69–70 There is another belief that some travelers were going from one place to another and decided to rest at this place and made Jula, (swing hanging from the branch of a tree) and liked the place and decided to settle down so they gave the name of this place Jhulasan.
