Limda or Hanubha na Limda, literally Hanubha's Limda, is a former
Rajputs
clan. Its pre-Independence ruler held the title of Darbar Saheb.
In 1901, it comprised a town and four more villages, with a combined population of 2,194, yielding 28,000 Rupees revenue (1903-4, mostly from land).[1]
History
The talukdari in
Lathi. Hanubha and his brothers Fatehsinh and Ajabha were given the estate of Ingorala after Lakhajiraj's death. They wrested control of Limda and neighboring villages from their Kathi rulers, thus expanding control over five villages. Their descendants held estates there until the abolition of jagirs
by The Bombay Merged Territories and Areas (Jagirs Abolition) Act of 1953.
The last ruler of Limda Darbar was Saheb Shri Ranjitsinhji Bhavsinhji Gohil who played an active role in the liberation of
