**Ashaval** or **Ashapalli** or **Yashoval**.[1][2] Archaeological evidence suggests that the area around [Ahmedabad](/source/Ahmedabad) in [Gujarat](/source/Gujarat), [India](/source/India) has been inhabited since the 11th century, when it was known as **Yashoval**[1] or **Ashapalli** or **Ashaval**. The city of Ashaval was located on the east of [River Sabarmati](/source/Sabarmati_River). Ashaval's existence is traced from 9th - 10th century until the 13th century.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] The settlement near the bank of Sabarmati River, today the city of Ahmedabad, was earlier known as Ashaval or Ashapalli. In the tenth century, Ashaval was one of the chief places in Gujarat, as described by Al-Biruni.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

## Area

The estimated area of Ashawal was from [Calico Mills](/source/Calico_Mills) via Jamalpur Darwaja up to Astodia Darwaja. The hillock near Astodia Darwaja (the present Dhal-ni-pol area) was known as 'Asha Bhil-no-Tekro.'[3]

## Rulers

Ashaval was initially ruled by a [Bhil](/source/Bhils) Maharaja Aasha Bhil, who was defeated by the [Chaulukya](/source/Chaulukya)(Solanki) king [Karna](/source/Karna_(Chaulukya_dynasty)) (r. c. 1064–1092 CE). The 14th century chronicler [Merutunga](/source/Merutunga) states that Karna established the city of Karnavati after this victory, which is identified with modern [Ahmedabad](/source/Ahmedabad) by some scholars.[4]
