Pavagadh Hill - 2
It was in the 15th Century that Islamic influences were sighted in and around the area. The Muslim period began with Muhammad Begada defeating the Patai Raval clan that was ruling the area, and strategically moving his capital from Ahmedabad to the Champaner site. This step was taken in 1484 AD to thwart the threat of the Sultans of Mandu. It was Muhammad Begda who built the town and the famous fort of Champaner, the Vohra mosque, the Mandavi, the Kirtistambh, also the temple of Shalkh. Later he also added the Jama or Jami Masjid, the Nagina Mosque and the Kevda Mosque. The ruins of the Begda palace can be found near the Vad Talav or the Banyan Pond located two kilometers away from Champaner. The site was finally taken over by the mighty Mughal Emperor Humayun when he plundered the fledgling Champaner town in AD 1535. Ignored under the Mughal reign as a secondary town, Champaner lost its appeal as a place of power and as a capital city by 16th century AD.
Champaner is also home to the great 16th century Indian music maestro, Baiju Bawra. He was considered as a contemporary rival to Tansen, a distinguished musician and one of the nine jewels in Emperor Akbar’s court.

Pavagadh Hill - 1
The Pavagadh hill is a famous place of pilgrimage situated in the Halol taluka of the district. The gods send so large a hill that three quarter of it filled up the hollow and the rest standing out of the plains was called ‘Pavagdh’ the quarter hill. In old inscriptions, the name of the hill also appears as ‘Pavakgadh’ or ‘fire-hill’. The first historical reference to the Pavagadh is in the writings of Chand Barot of the eleventh century, who mentioned Ram Gaur, the Tuar, as lord of Pava. Pavagadh is well-known as the strongest hill fortress of the ancient Gujarat, like so many hill forts in India.
The 15th century deserted cap
ital of Champaner was first excavated by late professor R N Mehta of Maharaja Sayajorao University in 1969-75. Indian officials however took notice in 1987 when the World Heritage Trust commissioned an international study to conserve the remains of the ruins. A report to the study proposed the development of the site as an archeological park. A team from the University of Illinois has been set up to develop and manage the landscape of the Pavagadh site.Thursday, October 30, 2008
