History
The historic estate of Dhank (anciently known as Dhankagiri), situated in the Kathiawar peninsula of Gujarat, represents one of the oldest seats of the Wala (Vala) Rajput dynasty, who trace their lineage back to the illustrious Suryavanshi Maitrakas of Vallabhi. Renowned for its ancient heritage, including the famous 3rd to 4th-century rock-cut Dhank Caves, the region emerged as a crucial geopolitical seat for the Vala rulers before their branches established larger principalities like Jetpur and Bilkha. During the era of the British Raj, Dhank was classified as a princely state under the Kathiawar Agency, preserving its traditional Rajput administration and cultural heritage until it was integrated into the Indian Union following India's independence in 1947.
