Jhalod (also written as Zalod) is a large town of historical and commercial importance. Also it is second largest City after Dahod. Jhalod serves as administrative headquarters of Jhalod Taluka in Dahod District, Gujarat, India. It is situated on the eastern border of Gujarat, from the Kushalgarh Tehsil of Banswara District, Rajasthan, near the Titodi River.
== History == It is believed that the town was founded by a Bhil king called Jhala Vasaiya, whose tombstone is still visible by the entrance of the Maniben School. The Bhil people believe that the Jhalod name originates from the Zalai Mata temple, which is consecrated to the town's goddess, Zalod.
