Dahod is a city on the banks of the Dudhimati River in Dahod District in the State of Gujarat, India. It is said that it has taken its name from Saint Dadhichi, who had an Ashram on the bank of Dudhumati river. This city is known for being the birthplace of the sixth Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb, son of the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan. The city serves as District Headquarters for Dahod District. It is from Ahmedabad and from Vadodara. It is also known as Dohad (meaning "two boundaries", as the borders of the states of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh are nearby).
