History

Vadhiyar was originally known as Vriddhikar, the land of grass or herdsmen. The word is also said to be a corruption of Vandh Ahir, the Ahir's camping ground. It was famous for its grass, fowls, sheep, and horses. It is of historic interest as the first seat of the Chavda dynasty, who, in 746, founded the city of Anhilwad Patan. The site of their first capital is preserved in the village of Panchasar. [2]

Radhanpur is a town and a municipality in Patan district in the Indian state of Gujarat. Radhanpur belonged to the Vaghelas in early years and later it was held as a fief under the Gujarat Sultanate by Fateh Khan Baloch. During Mughal period, the descendants of Babi dynasty were appointed as the governor of Radhanpur and other villages of North Gujarat. After decline of Mughal, they became free and established themselves as independent rulers. In 1743, Babi descendant Jawan Mard Khan II took over viceroyalty of Ahmedabad and controlled several villages in North Gujarat. He was defeated by Maratha Gaekwads in 1753 at Ahmedabad and Gaekwads agreed to his demand of control of villages in North Gujarat headquartered at Radhanpur State. His descendants lost some of these villages to Gaekwads subsequently. In 1813, Sher Khan made a treaty with the Gaekwar and British and became British protectorate. His descendants ruled the state until independence of India in 1947.
