Telnar or Telnal is a village in Kapadvanj Taluka in Kheda district of Gujarat state, India.
Nearby villages are Nirmali, Lalpur, Abvel and Bhungariya. The village mainly consists of farmland on the outskirts with mountains and the Vatrak river.
On the bank of Vatrak river, about a mile from the village, there is a very old and lately repaired temple of Kedareshvar.[1] Other major temple includes Utkanteshwar Mahadev situated 4 km from Telnar and located on the bank of the Vatrak river.
Kadva Patel is major community in the village. Telnar is one of more than 40 villages that have formed the Savaso Gaur Kadva Patidar Samaj organisation.
Agriculture and dairy business plays a large part in the region's prosperity. Agricultural goods primarily consist of potatoes, cotton, fennel seeds, pearl millet and wheat.
Lack of education and skills have let down progress of the village, but recently young generations have begun migrating to nearby cities including Kapadwanj, Ahmedabad, Anand and Gandhinagar.
