Basai is village of Solanki Rajput There were two major kings of Solanki dynasty. The first is that of Siddhraj Jayasinh who ruled for 47 years from 1094 A.D. and the second prominent Solanki king Kumarpala's reign lasted for 31 years from 1143 to 1174 AD. Both the Kings Sidhraj Jayasinh and Kumarpal had a very learned prominent Jain monk Hemchandracharya as their Guide and Guru who greatly guided and influenced their policies that made them immortal in the history of Solanki. Hemchandracharya was such a learned and visionary person that he is famous in the history as Kalikal Sarvagya ( One who knows every thing in modern times). One of the favourite legends with the Solankis bards is woven around the siege of Junagadh by Sidhraj Jaysinh. The fort was ultimately captured by him along with Ranakdevi, the Queen of the ruler Ra'Khengar. However, in the true tradition of the Kshatriyas, Ranakdevi preferred to commit 'sati' rather than marry Sidharaj Jaysinh. Sidharaj was persuaded to allow Ranakdevi to commit 'Sati' by burning herself on a pyre at Basai. A temple was built on the hallowed place where she became 'Sati'. The temple still stands in Wadhavan, Basai, as a mute testimony to the woman who preferred death to marriage with the person who had humbled her husband.
