The Ambliara State, also spelt Ambalaria, Amliara, Amliyara or Ambaliyara, (Gujarati: આંબલિયારા; Hindi: अमब्लियारा) was a small princely state belonging to the Mahi Kantha Agency of the Bombay Presidency during the era of the British Raj. It was centered on Ambaliyara (Ganeshpura) village,[1] Bayad, Gujarat Bayad taluka, Aravalli district of present-day Gujarat State.[2]
