Rao '''Godji I''' was the [[Raja|Rao]] of [[Cutch State|Cutch]] belonging to the [[Jadeja]] [[Rajput]] dynasty, who ruled [[Princely State of Cutch]] from 1715 to 1718.

==Life==
Godji I was a son of Rao [[Pragmalji I]]. He led a force sent by his father to restore throne of Tamachi, the sixth in descent from their ancestor Hala, who was driven from [[Halar]]. After the death of Pragmalji, he succeeded in 1715 and ruled for a short period of three years. He deposed Haloji, the son of Pragmalji's elder brother Nagulji, of his estate of [[Mundra]]. Haloji, unable to resist, retired to Abdasa, and there founded the towns of [[Kothara, Kutch|Kothara]], Kotri, and Nagarchi. His descendants are known as Halani Jadejas. He died in 1718 and was succeeded by his son [[Deshalji I]].{{sfn | ''Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency: Cutch, Palanpur and Mahi Kantha'' | 2015 |page=137-138}}
