Panchmahal district

Panchmahal district spans across eastern Gujarat with 595 villages and seven talukas, forming a substantial administrative region with Godhra as its capital city.

The district's historical narrative dates to AD 348 under Shilaaditya's rule, followed by Muslim control in 1297 when Alaudin Khilji displaced the Chauhan rulers.

The district maintains strong traditional practices through celebrations of Diwali, while its population of 2.3 million people predominantly communicates in Gujarati.

The district contains seventeen banks, six educational institutions, and numerous schools, providing essential services to residents across its 487 local governing bodies.

The name Panchmahal derives from five administrative divisions, with forests covering 23 percent of the land and substantial deposits of quartz and manganese.
