'''Vaghela''' is a [[Rajput]] clan that ruled over Gujarat, which was an offshoot of the [[Chaulukya dynasty|Chaulukya]] (Solanki) dynasty, ruling [[Gujarat]] in the 13th century CE. They were the last [[Hinduism|Hindu]] and [[Rajput]] dynasty to rule Gujarat before the [[Alauddin Khalji's conquest of Gujarat|Muslim conquest of the region]].<ref>In 1862, Parsi author Sorabshah Dadabhai Munsafa published ''Hindustan Madhyeñun Jhumpadu'' (Gujarati:હિન્દુસ્તાન મધ્યેનું ઝૂંપડું), a sixty nine page story as a novel. It was a Gujarati translation of ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=5T1WAAAAcAAJ The Indian Cottage or A Search After Truth]'' (1791), an English translation by [[Edward Augustus Kendall]] of the French work ''La Chaumière Indienne'' (1790) by [[Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre]]. As it was a translation of a translation, its claim as the first novel in Gujarati is disputed and ''Karan Ghelo'' is considered as the first original novel of Gujarati language.

Early members of the Vaghela family served the [[Chaulukya]]s in the 12th century CE, and claimed to be a branch of that dynasty. In the 13th century, during the reign of the weak Chaulukya king [[Bhima II]], the Vaghela general Lavanaprasada and his son Viradhavala gained a large amount of power in the kingdom, although they continued to nominally acknowledge Chaulukya suzerainty. In the mid-1240s, Viradhavala's son Visaladeva usurped the throne, and his successors ruled Gujarat until [[Karna (Vaghela dynasty)|Karna Vaghela]] was defeated by [[Alauddin Khalji]] of the [[Delhi Sultanate]] in 1304 CE, and lost Gujarat.{{sfn|Kishori Saran Lal|1950|pp=84-86}}{{sfn|Banarsi Prasad Saksena|1992|pp=334-335}}
