Gogunda is a town and tehsil headquarters of Gogunda Tehsil in Udaipur district, located about in north-west from Udaipur city in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It is situated on a high mountain in Aravalli hills and is reached by crossing a difficult mountain pass.
==History== Gogunda was the temporary capital of Mewar for some years, when Udai Singh shifted his base here and left Chittorgarh after Akbar besieged it. Udai Singh died at Gogunda in 1572 and Maharana Pratap's Raj Tilak (coronation) was performed here.
