Girgadhada (Gujarati: ગીરગઢડા) is a mid city town in Gir Somnath district in the state of Gujarat, India. Before 2013, it was a village of Una Taluka in Junagadh District, Now it has become the administrative headquarters for 42 villages[1] when that taluka was created as part of the new Gir Somnath District in August of that year.[2][3] Newly built BAPS Shree Swaminarayana Mandir is a popular place of worship and spiritual activities here.[4] There is another older Swaminarayan mandir nearby. Other temples in the town are Shree Khodiyar Mandir and Shree ramji Mandir.
