People believe that goddess [[Chamunda]] gives instruction as Koyal-gujarati word- to Vanraj Chawra's mother about enemies' army will coming) of Radhanpur where she gave birth to a boy, who was named Vanraj (King of the forest). The young Vanraj was educated by Jain priests and gained an academic as well as a military education. He eventually raised an army of [[Bhil]] tribals and helped by his friend and lieutenant Anhil, regained his father's lost kingdom.

Vanraj Chavda founded the city of [[Patan, Gujarat|Anhilpur Patan]], naming it in honour of Anhil, and made it the capital of his kingdom. It went on to be the most prosperous city of its time in India. He also founded the city of [[Champaner]], in honour of his general Champa.
