Bagasara-Ghed

It appears from the inscription in the temple of the Koteshvar Mahadev at Kodinar that in 1272 (Samvat 1328) this village was under the rule of Visaladeva, the Vaghela king of Anhilwad Patan, the then lord paramount of Gujarat, and that he granted it to a dependent of his named Nana, a Nagar Brahmin, who also held a seventh share in the revenue of Mangrol.

Afterwards in 1472 (Samvat 1528), the Bagasra Chovisi was granted in jagir to Bhupatsingh, son of Mandalika III, the last Chudasama ruler of Junagadh.

Thegi or Thek, Cyperus jemenicus, a sedge, is also found in the Ghed, and in the, sand hills on tho sea coast.

The pods of the lotus are called kumnas and they contain small white seeds which are made into bread and eaten by the poorer classes and also by the rich on fast days.

[2] The population of Bagasara consists chiefly of Mers, Ghedia Kolis, Memons, Khojas, Lohanas, Girnar Brahmins, and Sindhis.
