Varahi (= Vārāhi or Warahi ) was a small princely state in British India . The Banas flows through it and was administered as part of the Palanpur Agency . In 1872 almost 21,000 people lived on the 526 km². It was divided into several domains , on the one hand that of Jorawarkhanji also called Moti Jatwad or Varahi Senior , with 311 km², for which the 1921 census showed 2821 inhabitants in 16 villages, and Muradkhanji’s or Varahi Junior (104 km²) with 1921 1253 inhabitants in five Villages. The area borders in the south on the Rann von Kutch in the east on Rādhanpur . The main town of the same name is located at ( 23 ° 48 ′ N , 71 ° 27 ′ E ). The good soils of the open, flat land allowed the cultivation of hemp and mung beans .
history
The rule was the result of the inheritance of Bajāna (around 1500), the remainder of which remained with Hedar Khan Hadoji and between Pir Khan Lakha, who received Sitapur and Vanod, and Isa Khan Isaji, who received Valivada. The latter moved his residence to Varahi. After the further division, both heads were given powers by the colonial rulers as judges of the lower level. The main town received a rail connection in meter gauge on the route from Rādhanpur to Jamnagar. On July 31, 1943, the connection to Rādhanpur took place.
