Gir Somnath district, Gujarat
Gir Somnath is a district of Gujarat across 2,621 km². The figures below come from the Census of India and NFHS-5, each shown with its own vintage and its rank among Gujarat's districts and nationally.
Census counts are not available for Gir Somnath. It was created after the 2011 Census, so there is no census row for this area — only its predecessor's totals, which can be split by area but not accurately. Population, workers and other counts are therefore left out here rather than estimated. Percentages are shown as the predecessor's, and the 2020 population is measured for this district directly rather than inherited. How this works
