Bagasara-Ghed
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bagasara-Ghed, also known as Bagasara (Sil), is a village in Mangarol Taluka of Junagadh district, Gujarat, India.[1] Bagasra-Ghed lies thirty-four miles to the south-west of Junagadh.
It appears from the inscription in the temple of the Koteshvar Mahadev at Kodinar that in 1272 (Samvat 1328) this village was under the rule of Visaladeva, the Vaghela king of Anhilwad Patan, the then lord paramount of Gujarat, and that he granted it to a dependent of his named Nana, a Nagar Brahmin, who also held a seventh share in the revenue of Mangrol.[2]
There is a paliya (memorial stone) in the grain-yard at Bagasara dated 1392 (Samvat 1448) from which it seems that Pato, son of Samo, was slain in battle at Bagasara in the victorious reign of Mokalasimha, the Chudasama ruler of Junagadh. Later paliyas bear the names of the Sultans of Gujarat Sultanate of Ahmedabad as being lords-paramount here. All these paliyas bear the name Bagasara. Afterwards in 1472 (Samvat 1528), the Bagasra Chovisi was granted in jagir to Bhupatsingh, son of Mandalika III, the last Chudasama ruler of Junagadh. The descendants of this Bhupatsingh, who are called Raizadas, are still living in certain villages near Keshod.[2]
It was a subdivision under Sil mahal during British period.[2]
