Girgadhada (Gujarati: ગીરગઢડા) is a mid city town in Gir Somnath district in the state of Gujarat, India. Before 2013, it was a village of Una Taluka in Junagadh District, Now it has become the administrative headquarters for 42 villages when that taluka was created as part of the new Gir Somnath District in August of that year. Newly built BAPS Shree Swaminarayana Mandir is a popular place of worship and spiritual activities here. There is another older Swaminarayan mandir nearby. Other temples in the town are Shree Khodiyar Mandir and Shree ramji Mandir.
