[1] Undersea archaeological remains suggest the existence of a settlement during the Late Harappan period of Indus Valley civilization, or immediately after it.

The settlement can be reliably dated to the time of the Maurya Empire, as a part of Okha Mandal or Kushdwip area.

In 1859, through a joint offensive with the British, Gaekwad and other princely state troops ousted the rebels and recaptured the region.

[citation needed] During investigations undertaken in the 1980s, the remains of earthen pots and other artifacts of the Late Harappan period were found.

The artifacts recovered include a Late Harappan seal, an inscribed jar and a mold of a coppersmith, and a copper fishhook.

Additional pilgrimage places include Hanuman Dandi temple, Vaishnav Mahaprabhu Bethak, and a gurdwara.
