Kekhaṇḍikā is the name of a dry stream mentioned as lying on the northern boundary of Kaśeli, according to the “Kaseli grant of Bhoja II”. Kaśeli still retains its ancient name. It is bounded on the west by the ocean as stated here.

This copper plate (mentioning Kekhaṇḍikā) was in the possession of a Brahmaṇa of Sātārā, who lent it to James Grant. It records the grant, by Bhoja II, of the village Kaśeli for providing food daily to twelve Brāhmaṇas.
