Chok, Gujarat
Chok is a village in Jesar taluka of Bhavnagar district, Gujarat, India. It was once a small Rajput princely state in the Kathiawar region, ruled by Sarvaiya chiefs. Under British rule, it was part of the Eastern Kathiawar Agency and served as the head-quarters of a local police thana.
Chok lies on the south bank of the Shatrunji river, about 10 miles south-south-west of Palitana. Opposite the river is Lonch hill, 1,426 feet high, known in Jain literature as Hastagiri. About 3 miles to the south-east is Kamlo hill over Boda-no-nes, called Kadambgiri in Jain annals, 1,330 feet high and with a small temple.
Population figures were 1,163 in 1872, 1,264 in 1881, and 1,213 in 1901. The state’s revenue was 6,800 rupees, mostly from land, and it paid a tribute of 417 rupees to the Gaekwad of Baroda State and to Junagadh State.
