Adityana is a census town in Porbandar district in the India in state of Gujarat. It is located near Barda hills.
The town was founded in 1748.[1]
In the hill to the east of the village is a large cave called the cave of Jambuvan. Jambuvan is an Indian epic character whose daughter Jambuvati married Krishna.[1]
In 1839 a quarry was started here in the hills to the north-east of the village. This stone is largely exported to Bombay and elsewhere and is commercially known as Porbandar stone. It is a limestone, yellowish white in colour, and of compact grain. Locally it is known as makhanio patthar or butter-stone. It is said to possess one excellent quality; walls are built of this cut-stone without any mortar, and it is said that after one rainy season the stones all adhere together so as to form one block.[1]
