Botad district

Botad district is an administrative division in Gujarat comprising four distinct regions: Gadhada, Barwala, Ranpur, and Botad. The area spans diverse landscapes shaped by different geographical features.

The district was established in 2013 when it was separated from neighboring districts and gained its own administrative status. This creation marked an important step in the regional administrative reorganization.

The Shree Swaminarayan Temple in Gadhada serves as a spiritual gathering place that shapes the religious identity of the region and attracts worshippers throughout the year.

The area lies between Surendranagar to the northeast, Rajkot to the west, and Bhavnagar and Amreli to the south, making it a central point in the western region. The surrounding connections make it easy to navigate between the different talukas.

Two rivers shape the district's geography: the Sukhbhadar flows along the northern border while the Kalubhar runs through the southern section. These natural water systems have influenced settlement patterns and economic activities across the region.
