About District

If we look into the historical background of Valsad District, we cannot overlook the arrival of the Parsi community at Sanjan Port, which marked one of their earliest settlements in India. From Sanjan, the Parsi community spread to different parts of the country. Their famous religious place, the Fire Temple at Udvada, is located in Pardi Taluka of Valsad District. There is also an ancient Jain pilgrimage site at Bagwada, situated on National Highway No. 8 near Udvada, which attracts a large number of pilgrims throughout the year.

The Khed Satyagraha and the grass agitation launched by the late Shri Ishwarbhai Desai in Pardi Taluka brought the area into national prominence.
