Mandal is a town in Mandal taluka of Ahmedabad district, India.[1]
History
Mandal is a historical town. When, in 1347, the Emperor Muhammad bin Tughluq came to establish his rule in Gujarat, the Rana of Mandal and Patri, helped him and was honoured with robes and rewards. In 1395, Mandal was besieged by Muzaffar Shah I who founded Gujarat Sultanate later. The siege would have failed if it had not a pestilence broke out among the defenders. A few years later Jhala Satarsalji of Mandal was one of the chiefs who joined in the revolt against Sultan Ahmad Shah I (1414). It was not until 1530, the Mandal estates were made a part of the crown domains. In 1741, the town was restored and fortified by a brother of the Desai of Viramgam. In the latter part of the century it remained under the Marathas till its transfer in 1817 to the British East India Company. Some small stone mosques and some temples are the only remains of its former importance.[2]
