Chavand is a village in the Udaipur district of Rajasthan that served as the capital of Maharana Pratap of Mewar in the last years of his struggle against the Mughals, from about 1585. Pratap built a palace and temple there and died at Chavand in 1597, and his cenotaph stands at nearby Bandoli. A celebrated Ragamala series of paintings was produced there in 1605.
