Some followers wrote us that today is foundation day of Porbandar city. In fact foundation date of Porbandar is not known. It is very ancient city which is mentioned in Purana. In Skandapurama it is mentioned as Sudamapuri, Puri & Paurvelakul. Porbandar is as old as Dwarka.
In ancient time Porbandar was known by Sanskrit name 'Paurvelakul'.Velakul means port. It was also known as Sudamapuri or Puri in old time. In middle age, Muslims called it Puri Bandir. In Persian/Farsi language Bandir means port. Persian name Puri Bandir later became Porbandar.
In Sudamapur Mahatmya of Skandapuran, Porbandar as Sudamapuri, its river Asmavati, Kedareshvar temple & Kedarkund are mentioned. In ancient time Porbandar was between two major pilgrimages Prabhaskshetra & Dwarkakshetra. So it was also an important pilgrimage place.
