Vallabhi

Vallabhi (or Valabhi or Valabhipur) is an ancient city located in the Saurashtra peninsula of Gujarat, near Bhavnagar in western India.

It is also known as Vallabhipura and was the capital of the Kingdom of Valabhi, an early medieval state ruled by the Suryavanshi Maitraka Dynasty.

[2] The Great Council of Vallabhi, was held under Devardhigani Kshamashraman's guidance to preserve the remaining canonical texts of Jainism.

The next ruler was his son, Siladitya-I Dharmaditya, who was described by the Chinese scholar and traveller Xuanzang as a "monarch of great administrative ability and of rare kindness and compassion".

[14] The Indologist Sylvain Lévi wrote an article entitled "Les donations religieuses des rois de Valhabi".
