The site is a joint township of the historical city of Champaner and Pavgadh Hill. Champaner was founded by Vanraj Chavda, the most prominent ruler of the Chavda Dynasty of the 8<sup>th<\/sup> century. He named the town after his Rajput general, Champa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 11th century, the city came under the rule of Ram Gaur Tuar and remained so until 1297, when Alauddin Khalji, conquered the kingdom and made it the Sultanate\u2019s stronghold. During this period, the Chauhan Rajputs had also settled in Champaner and the Solanki kings and Khichi Chauhans settled in Pavagadh Hill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 13<sup>th<\/sup> century, the entire area was conquered by the Khichi Chauhan Rajputs, who built their first settlement on the top of Pavagadh Hill and fortified it with walls along the plateau below the hill. By 1484, the Turkish rulers of Gujarat conquered the hill fortress. It was under Sultan Mehmud Begda that Champaner Pavgadh became the capital of the province and embarked on what would become a historic phase for these twin towns. The settlement of Champaner was rebuilt and kept as the capital of Gujarat until 1536 until the rulers abandoned the place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1.-introduction-6.jpg\" alt=\"Champaner Pavagadh fort\" class=\"wp-image-11291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1.-introduction-6.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1.-introduction-6-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1.-introduction-6-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"archi\"><strong>Architecture <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Most of the ruins are focused on Pavagadh Hill, which is also significant as a volcanic hill that <strong>rises 800 meters<\/strong> above the surrounding plains. The property now features remains of early settlements dating from prehistoric to medieval periods. <\/li><li>The expansive area of 1329 hectares (with a buffer zone of 2812 hectares) comprised of <strong>12 separate areas with palaces<\/strong>, religious buildings, residential precincts, and water-retaining installations, as well as the living village of Champaner. <\/li><li>In its hay days, there were <strong>11 types of buildings<\/strong> on this site including mosques, temples, tombs, wells, walls, terraces, granaries, etc. <\/li><li>Archaeological findings list <strong>114 monuments<\/strong> in the area, of which 39 have been discovered and maintained by the Archeological Survey of India.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The structures, sit mostly at the foothills of the Pavagadh hills. Champaner Pavagadh architecture represents a perfect blend of ancient Rajputana and Islamic architecture. The Great Mosque\/ Jama Masjid housed therein, became the benchmark model for later mosque structures built in India.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A composite site of a 14th-century Hindu capital and a 16th-century Islamic capital, Champaner Pavgadh is a representation of the cultural heritage of Gujarat and makes for a major contribution to India\u2019s history.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most parts of the city, except for the major structural remains of the main buildings and forts, are either in ruins, or buried and unexcavated. But whatever remains, depict the essential features of the ancient township \u2013 royal estates, utility buildings, religious and cultural monuments, drainage systems, water supply installations, military structures, agricultural site, administrative buildings, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1803, some British traders visited the town of Champaner and discovered it to be in ruins and wildly overgrown. They re-founded the town and for a brief period, became a great exporter of silk, with production facilities like washing and preparing raw silk. However, in 1812, a cholera epidemic wiped out a big chunk of the population. By 1828, after major colonization, the town was deserted again and later occupied only by native tribes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was only in recent decades that Champaner Pavgadh was rediscovered as an integral part of Gujarat\u2019s heritage as well as a landmark of Indian history.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"facts\"><strong>Hidden Facts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from being an iconic historical site, Champaner Pavagadh is also regarded as a sacred ground. The Pavagadh Hill houses an ancient temple on the top, dedicated to Kali, and till date it enshrines an idol of deity Kalika. While the site might have become a deserted and derelict place, the temple still attracts pilgrims from all around and still remains a place of worship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another interesting fact about this site is its existence itself. The entire township of Champaner Pavagadh is the only complete and unchanged pre-Mughal Islamic city in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"unesco\"><strong>Champaner Pavagadh UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Baroda Heritage Trust took the initiative of putting Champaner Pavagadh on the global map as a major tourist attraction and a heritage site worthy of being noticed. The entire complex of Champaner Pavagadh, including its natural landscape, archeological ruins, and cultural context, is an ensemble of prehistoric and early- and late-medieval period royal, sophisticated, and ordinary settlements and buildings communities. It is also one of its kind from its period. With such outstanding universal value and heritage, UNESCO declared Champaner Pavagadh as a World Heritage Site in 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plan\"><strong>How to Plan a Trip to Champaner Pavagadh <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"reach\"><strong>How to Reach Champaner Pavagadh<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Champaner Pavgadh is well-connected to rest of Gujarat and other states by road, rail, and air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"373\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7.-how-to-reach-1024x373.jpg\" alt=\"How to Reach Champaner Pavagadh\" class=\"wp-image-11289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7.-how-to-reach-1024x373.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7.-how-to-reach-300x109.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7.-how-to-reach-768x280.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7.-how-to-reach.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Train<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The nearest railway station is Champaner station in Khakariya.
