History

According to a legend, Bilkha was the ancient residence of the legendary king Bali.

It is situated about eighteen miles east of Vamansthali (the present Vanthali), the abode of Vamana.

During British period, it is owned by Kathis of the Vala tribe, a branch of the Jetpur house. In 1880s, Vala Kala Devdan was a its talukdar who had fourth class jurisdiction in his sole villages, and Valas Ala and Desa both sons of Bhima Sata, they each exercised sixth class jurisdiction in their sole villages. Bilkha itself was joint between the above-mentioned shareholders so it was managed by a thanadar subordinate to the Jetpur taluka court.
