The etymology section is nonsense. Sanskrit words for stone are numerous: शिला, पाषाण, अश्मन् , प्रस्तर,
उपल, ग्रावन् , दृषद् , शर्करा (Apte), none of which reads 'dhrang' (nor anything similar) which is claimed here to mean stone in Sanskrit. (And although vasudhara is one of the words for earth in Sanskrit, the last two syllables of it would not normally evolve into ધ્રા which is the spelling of the -dhra part in the Gujarati name of the town). There is another "etymology" given in the History section, which does not look feasible either and looks more like a popular attempt at folk etymology. The article will be better if both are deleted (or labelled as popular belief, not origin of the word). Yak-indolog (talk) 22:27, 21 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
