History of Kadi

History of Kadi

Not much is known about the history of Kadi. However, it is certain that the town came into prominence during the reign of the Gaekwads of Baroda for a brief period and remained under their rule until 1947.

History tells us that the Gaekwads established their rule over Baroda in 1721.  As their territory began to expand they first decided to set up an administrative outpost in the ancient capital of Patan. However, the city was much too far from their capital at Baroda. Therefore, they decided to set it up in Kadi. The Fort of Malavraj Gaekwad is a pointer to this fact. However, for reasons unknown, they later shifted the administrative headquarters to Mehsana and thus Kadi lost much of its importance. It remained under the rule of the Gaekwads until India gained independence and all princely states merged into the newly independent nation.

Thol Lake

Thol Lake is actually a shallow water body dotted with reeds. Such an ambience provides perfect nestling ground for the water birds while the agricultural land around it provides them with sufficient food. Consequently, the lake has become home to one hundred different species of water birds such as cranes, geese, egrets, herons, teals, ducks, pelicans, flamingoes etc. It is indeed a treat to see them rise up in the air before diving into the water.  While the best time to visit the lake is from the beginning of November to end of February, you can go there any time and enjoy a day among the birds
