Description
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.
History
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.
Culture
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.
