VIII
THE SOLANKI PERIOD (Contd.) NORTH AND NORTH-EAST GUJARAT
'
The territory that lay to the east and south-east of the Sārasvata Mandala, comprised the Khețaka Mandala of the Solanki kingdom. Culturally, however, its northern parts (represented by present Sabarkantha and Ahmedabad Districts) are usually treated as North-East and North Gujarat respectively, while its Southern part (represented by Kaira District) is generally treated as a part of Central Gujarat. Under North Gujarat is here included the area round Dholka, which seems to have formed a principality under the Rāņakas of the Vāghelā branch of the Solanki dynasty.
