Lovariya is a village near the town Anjar, the taluka of Kutch district in the Indian state of Gujarat.
Lovariya is one of the 18 villages founded by Kutch Gurjar Kshatriyas or Mistris, as they are known in Kutch. These Mistris first moved into Saurashtra in early 7th century and later a major group entered Kutch in 12th Century & established themselves at Dhaneti. Later from 12th century onwards they moved to settle themselves between Anjar and Bhuj and founded the villages of Anjar, Sinugra, Khambhra, Nagalpar, Khedoi, Madhapar, Hajapar, Kukma, Galpadar, Reha, Vidi, Ratnal, Jambudi, Devaliya, Lovaria, Nagor, Chandiya, Meghpar and Kumbharia.
Many of these Mistris made it big during early years of Railway Construction by British.
