Rawal Pir lighthouse is existing on the star board side at 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 was kept on the tomb of a Mohammaden ascetic-the Pir. Subsequently a separate cylindrical tower was raised near the tomb in 1947 for placing the Lantern regularly on it. The green filter was added in the same lantern in 1957.The ships could anchor easily at the entrance taking assistance of this light (Green) and the breakwater light (Red).
