Vagad

Vagad is a hilly, forested region of southern Rajasthan in India, roughly covering the modern districts of Dungarpur and Banswara. It has a large Bhil population and its own dialect, Wagdi. From the late medieval period it was ruled by branches of the Guhila family of Mewar, whose principalities of Dungarpur and Banswara survived as princely states until 1948.
