===Legends===
The town is mentioned in ''[[Mahabharata]]'' and ''Bhavishottar Puran'' as 'Ilvadurg'. The exact date of its origin is not known; but it is believed that it came into
existence at the time when [[Yudhishthira]] was ruling over [[Hastinapur]] at the end
of the [[Kurukshetra War]] of Mahabharata.<ref name="Jaipur1967"/>

According to tradition, Idar has been celebrated from the earliest times. Even in the past cycle, ''[[yuga]]'', it was known, and in the present cycle, before the days of Vikram, the legendary king Veni Vachh Raj ruled at Idar, the possessor of a golden figure which helped him to build the hillfort and its reservoirs. His queen was a Nagputri, the daughter of a snake-king of the under world, whither, the legend says, she and her consort betook themselves when the queen found that men were mortal.<ref name=ghj>{{cite book|title=Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency: Cutch, Pálanpur, and Mahi Kántha (Public Domain text)|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Lr4IAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA437|year=1880|publisher=Government Central Press|pages=434–435}}</ref>

===Ancient history===
The first clear tradition shows Idar in the possession of Bhils.
Raja mandlik was King of Ider.
After the fall of [[Vallabhi]] in 770, Kamalavati or Pushpavati, one of the wives of [[Maitraka]] king Shiladitya was at [[Ambaji]] to fulfil a vow. She heard news and took refuge in a cave in the mountains and there gave birth to a son called Gruhaditya or 'Goha' or cave-born.<ref name="Naravane1999">{{cite book |last=Naravane |first=M. S. |title=The Rajputs of Rajputana: A Glimpse of Medieval Rajasthan |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lF0FvjG3GWEC&pg=PA24 |year=1999 |publisher=APH Publishing |isbn=978-81-7648-118-2 |pages=24–}}</ref> Making over the child to a [[Brahmin]] woman, the queen followed her husband through the fire. The young prince, of a daring character and adventurous spirit, soon passed out of his guardian's hands, and joining the Idar Bhils was by them chosen king. Whether in sport or earnest, the election was real, and for several generations his successors ruled in Idar. At last Nagaditya or Aparajita the eighth prince was killed by his subjects. He left a son named [[Bappa Rawal]] who never succeeded to his father's chiefship, but became the founder of [[Mewar dynasty]].<ref name="Wright1922">{{cite book |last=Wright |first=Arnold |title=Indian States: A Biographical, Historical, and Administrative Survey |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=riBJH0J1FR0C&pg=PA120 |year=1922 |publisher=Asian Educational Services |isbn=978-81-206-1965-4 |pages=120–}}</ref> The Chinese pilgrim [[Xuanzang]] (640) mentions a place which he calls ''O-clia-li'', the Chinese way of writing Vadali, a village nearby. British General Cunningham identified this place with Idar. He further noted that in the eleventh century Vadali or Vadari was the capital of a family of chiefs claiming descent from Raja Bhara Gupta, whom the General believed to be the same as the above-mentioned Bappa. According to tradition, Idar was refounded by [[Parihar]] Rajputs, who, subject to [[Chittor]], ruled there for several generations. Towards the close of the twelfth century, the Idar chief took part with [[Prithviraj Chauhan]], king of Delhi, against the [[Ghurid Sultanate]] and was killed in the [[second battle of Tarain|Battles of Tarain]] (1192). Idar then fell into the hands of a [[Koli People|Koli]] king named [[Hathi Sord]] who founded the [[Sord Dynasty]] and was succeeded by his son Samalio. The latter was killed by a Rathod prince named Sonangji, who took occupied Idar, and became the founder of the dynasty of the Raos who
ruled there for several generations. After numerous changes of fortune and many struggles with the Muslims, the Raos had at last to leave Idar, and were, in 1728, succeeded by the Rathod
dynasty from [[Marwar]].<ref name=ghj/>

===Modern history===
{{Main|Idar State}}
Raja Anand Singh, with the help of his brother Rai Singh and a few horseman from [[Palanpur State|Palanpur]] and the [[Kolis]] of Gadhwara, he established himself in Idar without difficulty in 1728 or 1729. He died in 1753. Then HH Maharaja Rajendra Singh became the ruler of princely state of [[Idar State|Idar]].<ref>uqconnect.net/~zzhsoszy/ips/i/idar.html</ref> In 1924 it was made part of the [[Western India States Agency]]. It was transferred to the [[Rajputana]] states in the early 1940s. In 1949 it was dissolved and split between [[Sabarkantha district|Sabarkantha]] and [[Mehsana district]]s which were at that point in [[Bombay State]].<ref name="Columbia-Lippincott Gazetteer p. 824">''Columbia-Lippincott Gazetteer'', p. 824</ref> Both these districts became part of [[Gujarat]] when it was formed in 1960.

==Economy==
Idar is a region which has become a hub for cotton ginning and processing. It also has a very strong network of dairy co-operatives which helps it stay firm on an economic footing in years where the rains are not good.

==Places of interest==
{{wide image|Panorama of Idar City.jpg|900px|align-cap=center|360° panorama of Idar hills}}
* '''Ramaleshvar lake''', said to have been built by Rao Ranmal, with its western bank covered with picturesque domed cupolas, ''chhatri''s, raised over the ashes of the forefathers of the leading Idar families.<ref name=ghj/>
* '''Fort''': The town was surrounded by a brick wall in the past which had three gateways named Mira Darwaja, Dhuleta Darwaja, marked with many red hands each recording a victim to the rite of [[Sati (practice)|sati]]. Inside of the wall, a road, running round the town, leads to the ''Gantino Darwajo'', a rock-cut passage giving access to the main route to Rajasthan in past. Only a portion of the fortification is present now.<ref name=ghj/>
[[File:Clock Tower Idar Gujarat.jpg|thumb|Idar clock tower]]

* '''Chaturbhuj Stepwell''', an ancient stone stepwell
* '''Idargadh palaces''': At the end of the town and immediately under the hill is the palace, a large building with no architectural pretensions. The palace is said to have been built by Maharaja Dowlatsinhji in early twentieth century. Behind the palace, on the south-western face of the range of hills, which joins the Vindhya and [[Aravalli Range]], rises '''Idargadh''', so steep, rocky, and well fortified, that according to the local saying, to take Idargadh is to achieve the impossible. So, a famous folk song was mostly sung in traditional marriages, ''Áme Êderio Gadh Ĵitya Re Aanand Bhayo'' (We are very happy that we have conquered Idar Fort). From the palace a steep and easily held pathway leads through more than one gateway and fortified work to the fortress plateau, a table land raised well above the plain surrounded by heights, and with the gaps in the crest filled in and strengthened by ramparts. From below, two buildings, on opposite peaks, attract attention. The other building, on an enormous granite peak to the right, domed and of fine stone, lately smothered with whitewash, is known as the '''Roothi Rani no Mahel''' or Angry Queen's Palace. It measures twenty-five feet long by nineteen broad and twelve high. The story is that when Rao Narayanji or Narandas (1573) driven from Idar by [[Akbar]], took refuge in Polo forests, in spite of a terrible ulcer on his back, he continued to harass the Musalmans. One day, when his back was being dressed, his Rani came into the room, and, seeing the fearful sore, mournfully shook her head. Noticing this in a mirror, the Rao asked why she shook her head. She said 'from what I see I have no hope that you will regain your lost throne.' This so annoyed her husband that he left the house, and, afterward, when he retook Idar, he refused to see the Rani's face. Disgusted at this treatment, and unwilling to live in her husband's palace, the Rani had a dwelling built on the highest peak of the hill and there passed the rest of her life. Some centuries after, this palace was the scene of a cruel assassination. Surajmal, Thakor of Chandni who had saved Idar from the Marathas, was so puffed up by his success that he gave great offence, especially to Bhavanisingh the son and heir- apparent of the old Maharaja Shivsingh. Bent on revenge the prince invited Surajmal to a feast, and, under pretence of inspecting the fort, took him up to the Angry Queen's Palace and there killed him. The way into the fort is by a stone paved pathway, the stone slippery and polished from the wear of ages. Passing under more or less ruined gateways the pathway leads to a part of the hill between, and much lower than, the two peaks.
*Following the path, on the right hand is a house built by the late Maharaja after a Mount Abu pattern. There are some ruins said to be remains of the Raos' old palace. Further on is a well-preserved freestone.
*'''The Queen's palace''' is rather difficult to reach, as, besides climbing to the top of the peak, a high smooth narrow granite ridge, unsafe for booted feet, has to bo crossed.
* '''Sheela Udyan''', a rock garden
* '''Harishchandra Ki Chouri''', where Raja Harishchandra got married
* '''Kharadi Bazaar''', the market of toys

==Main temples==
[[File:Greenery of idar.jpg|thumb|Rani Talav with Jain temple in the centre]]
*'''Sambhavanath Temple''' : Sambhavanath Temple is a [[Digambara]] Jain sect and dedicated to [[Sambhavanath]], the third Tirthankara. This seems of even greater age than the other, but, like it, bears no date. Within the limits of the fort, with a wall and terraces in front, is a natural cavern twenty-eight feet by eighteen and seven high, containing an image of ''Vajra Mata'' a goddess worshipped by Hindus of all castes. The whole of the hill is surrounded with more or less ruined fortifications. To the rear are the remains of a fortified gateway, opening on the plain behind, a way of escape for the too hard-pressed defenders of the fort. It was through this gateway that Maharaja Anandsingji fled in 1733 and was attacked and slain by a party of Rehvar horse. The interior of the hill-fort, or rather fortified hill, is very striking from the dense brushwood by which the ruins are more or less hid. Perhaps the finest view is near Shambhavnath's temple, whence, looking towards the Angry Queen's Palace, the sheer scarp of the great granite peak, towering above the trees, stands clear against the sky.
*'''Shantinath Temple''':This temple belongs to the [[Svetambara]] Jain sect and dedicated to [[Shantinath]], the sixteenth [[Tirthankara]]. This temple, measuring 160 feet by 125 and 55 high, is evidently of considerable age, but there is no writing to show its exact date. Near the temple is a deep reservoir always filled with water.
* '''Rani Talav''', a lake, half a mile to the north-east of Idar, has an area of ninety-four acres and a greatest depth of seventeen feet. Its supply lasts throughout the year but is used for irrigation. The east side of the lake is banked with masonry steps. It is said, but this is doubtful, to have been dug and built about 380 years ago by the wife of Rao Bhau, chief of Idar.<ref>{{cite book|title=Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency: Cutch, Pálanpur, and Mahi Kántha|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Lr4IAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA358-IA1|year=1880|publisher=Government Central Press|page=356}}</ref> The '''Pavapuri Jain temple''' is built recently in the centre of the lake which can be reached by a bridge. The main temple is around 72 feet high, 72 feet long and is built on 72 pillars. The height of central idol of [[Mahavira]] is 72 cm which is surrounded by 72 carved figurines.

*'''Swaminarayan temple''': raised at a cost of about £5000 (Rs. 50,000) around the 1870s.<ref name=ghj/>
*'''Cave temple of Khokhanath Mahadev''', thirty feet long by twenty broad and from four to sis high, supposed to bo upwards of 400 years old. On a rising ground, south of the town and close to the wall, is the '''cave temple of Dhaneshvar Mahadev''', a natural rock cavern twenty feet long by ten broad and from five to seven high. Three-quarters of a mile south-west of the town, on a rising ground, is the '''cave of Mankaleshvar Mahadev''', twenty feet long by twelve broad and from five to ten high.<ref name=ghj/><ref name="Desai2007"/>
*'''Haveli''': A temple belonging to the Vallabhacharya sect, completed around 1878 at a cost of about £2000 (Rs. 20,000).<ref name=ghj/>
*'''Ranmal's Choki''' or guardroom, seems to be an unfinished Jain temple, the building of which was stopped after the flat stone ceiling had been put on.
