History
Sanand is a small village near Ahmedabad city. It was ruled by the Vaghelas in the past. The Palace which was built by the Vaghelas is present and it is the home of the royal family of Sanand. The famous artist of the Mewati Gharana, Late Maharana Jaiwant Sinh Vaghela was from the royal family of Sanand. He was a great musician and also the guru of Pandit Jasraj. His son was Late Maharana Rudradutt Sinhji Vaghela of Sanand. His son and the present king of Sanand is Maharana Jaishiv Sinhji Vaghela of Sanand. He has a son who is 18 years old and the present yuvraj Dhruv Sinh Vaghela of Sanand and a daughter Katayayini Sinh Vaghela of Sanand who is 15 years old.
Pandit Jasraj frequently visits Sanand. Historically this place is related to the Pandavas also. When Arjuna was coming back from Godhavi (a nearby village of sanand), it is said that he took rest at this place and felt an immense pleasure. Thus the name of the city came Sa (with) + Anand (pleasure)

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To a surprising extent the war-lords in shining armour, the apostles of the martial virtues, tend not to die fighting when the time comes. History is full of ignominious getaways by the great and famous.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
