Kharedi-Virpur[1] was a third class princely state in British India under Kathiawar Agency. It was ruled by Jadeja Rajput chiefs descended from the Nawanagar ruling family.
The state consisted of 13 villages covering an area of 171 square kilometres (66 sq mi) and with Virpur as its headquarters.[2] Kharedi was a seat of rulers before the capital was shifted to Virpur. The state was known as Kharedi-Virpur. The town of Kalavad also was part of Kharedi-Virpur State.[3]
