Rawal Pir Lighthouse exists on the star board side of the entrance to the Mandvi
Port. It is approachable by a village road and is about 8 Km from Mandvi Lighthouse.
In 1936 a lantern with green filter was placed on top of a tomb of a Mohammaden
ascetic-Pir. The ships then could anchor easily at the entrance taking assistance of
this light (Green) on starboard side and the breakwater light (Red) on the port side.
Subsequently a separate cylindrical tower was raised near the tomb in 1947 and the
light was shifted to this tower. The light was reinstalled on a new structure and 300mm
optical equipment with DA gas burner was commissioned into service& exhibited in
December 1969. The DA gas equipment was replaced by Solar powered equipment with
electronic control in 1993.
Recently, A 30m RCC tower constructed and commissioned on 20.10.2021
and the light has been shifted to new tower.
