Sankheda

The town of Sankheda in Chhota Udaipur district is known for its lacquer work. The work is done on country wood which, being brown, gives darker shades.

Name
The name Saṅkheḍā is derived from Saṅgama-Kheṭaka, meaning "village at the confluence" and referring to the town's location at the confluence of the Orsang and a smaller river. The name is attested as early as the 6th century CE, when it was the capital of a district (viṣaya) with the same name. ==History==
History
In the 11th century, Sankheda (Saṅgamakheṭa-maṇḍala) appears to have been ruled by Jasorāja, a feudatory of the Paramara king Bhoja. This is attested by a copper plate grant made by Jasorāja in November 1045 and found at Tilakwada in 1917. Jasorāja was the son of someone named Śūrāditya and belonged to a family named Śravaṇabhadra that originated in the Kannauj region. ==High school==
