Nakhatrana () is a city and headquarters for a taluka in the middle of Kutch (kachchh), Gujarat, in India.[1]
Nakhatrana got its name from a very famous tale when Paliwal Bramhins from Pali migrated to Kutch, the then ruler gifted greenest part of Kutch without any document, 'khat' in Gujarati. Joshi is the popular surname of Bramhins here
