GeographyIt rises northeast of the Gir Hills, near Dhari in Amreli district. Its course begins east-northeast along a lineament which runs parallel to the Narmada Fault,[1] passes north of Palitana's hills, Shatrunjaya, then in a southeasterly direction past Talaja Hill, through a peninsula, before reaching the Gulf of Cambay, approximately {{convert|6|miles}} north of Goapnath Point.[2][3] It has two mouths, one situated approximately {{convert|4.5|miles}} north of the point, and the other being an additional {{convert|1.5|miles}} to the north.[4] Situated {{convert|4.5|miles}} eastward of the river's mouth is Sultanpur Shoal.[2] Shetrunji's basin has a maximum length of {{convert|227|km}}. The total catchment area of the basin is {{convert|5636|km2}}.[5] Along with the Ghelo, Kalubhar, and the Vagad Rivers, the Shetrunji is a principal river of the district, [6] and the second largest river in the region of Saurashtra. The brackish stream, Gagadio, joins the Shetrunji about {{convert|2|km}} from Krankach.[7] Khodiyar Mata is an approximately {{convert|50|ft}} waterfall near Dhari. The topography is a mix of hills and plains. FeaturesThe Palitana dam was built in 1959 across the river at Nani-Rajasthali and represents Shetrunji's irrigation scheme.[8] This scheme is meant to provide river water to a cultivation area of {{convert|56000|-|86000|acres}} of land.[9] Shetrunji supplies drinking water to Bhavnagar.[10] A small port is located at Sultanpur.[2] CultureAn old masjid is situated between the Shetrunji and the Natadia River, while a shrine of Khodiar Mata is situated within the Shetrunji's lower reaches.{{cn|date=July 2015}} Middle to Upper Palaeolithic sites have been found along the river.[11] Archaeological exploration along the river has noted 22 settlements which date circa 1st century BCE to 1st century CE. The sites included nine fishing villages, a mixed use fishing-agrarian village, a mixed use agrarian-salt-farming village, as well as a regional centre. Of these, Padri village dates to the Harappan period, while Hathab village was the largest in the lower river valley,[12] Palitana is situated near the river, serving as the base town for the hills of Shatrunjaya upon which are the Palitana temples, an important place of worship for Jains.{{cn|date=July 2015}} References1. ^{{cite book|last=Bhattacharya|first=Anil Kumar|title=Proceedings of Indian Geological IVth Session Congress, Varanasi, 1982: a volume in honour of Prof. D.K.
