Diyodar
Diyodar, also spelled Diodar or Deodar, is a town and former princely state in Diyodar Taluka of Banaskantha district in Gujarat, western India. History Diyodar was ruled by the Bhilria Vaghela Rajput dynasty, who, on the overthrow of Rajput power in Patan, took (1297) Bhildi, near Palanpur, and for some generations held it. Driven out by the Muslims, they, in turn, held Samav in Kankrej, Munjpur in Radhanpur, and Tervada in Tharad, and, again ousted by the Muslims, took Diyodar. Once an estate of eighty-four villages, Diyodar reduced to half of its size as it lost areas to the Kankrej and Bhabhar Kolis.
