Gohelwar covered the southeast of the Kathiawar peninsula, and roughly corresponds to the modern Bhavnagar District and Botad district.

Its salute states were :

First Class: Bhavnagar (entitled to a hereditary 13-guns salute and a 15-guns local salute, with the King titled Maharaja)
Second Class: Palitana (entitled to a hereditary 9-guns salute, with the King titled Thakur Sahib)

The major non-salute states included:

Third Class: Jasdan, Vala
Fourth Class: Lathi
Fifth Class: none
Sixth Class: Bhadli, Itaria, Kotra Pitha, Limbda, Vankia

Several more princely estates and states existed in this region, however, they would typically own only one or two villages.
