The Vaghela dynasty was a short-lived Indian Rajput dynasty who ruled Gujarat at the second half of the 13th century.
[edit] History
The Vaghelas were a branch and feudatories of the Solanki dynasty, who ruled Gujarat from the 10th to the 13th centuries. The Solanki went into decline in the thirteenth century, and by 1243 the Vaghelas were firmly in control of Gujarat. They restored stability to Gujarat for the latter half of the 13th century. They were based in the town of Dholka. Their dynasty ended with the defeat of Karnadeva Vaghela by Alauddin Khilji, and the rule of the Delhi Sultanate.[1]
