'''Khavda''' is a village in [[Bhuj]] Taluka of [[Kutch district]] of [[Gujarat]], India. It lies on the west side of Pachham Island in [[Greater Rann of Kutch]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
It belonged to the Raos of [[Cutch State]] and came into their possession under rather curious circumstances. On the birth of prince Desal I (1718-1741)' the Sammas of Pachham, anxious to show their loyalty, offered the Rao as much land as a cart coming from Bhuj could pass over in one day. The Sammas would seem to have miscalculated the distance, as the cart passed through Sandhara, Andhau, Khari, Dhaluara, Godpar, Ludia and Khavda, and it was only by bribing 1 the driver to stop that any of their island was left.<ref name="gbp">{{cite book|title=Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency: Cutch, Palanpur, and Mahi Kantha|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dLUBAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA210|year=1880|publisher=Printed at the Government Central Press|pages=227–228}}</ref><br />
