Bhūtāmbilī is the name of an ancient city corresponding to modern Ghūmlī, as mentioned in the “Ghūmlī plates of Bāṣkaladeva” (989 A. D.). Bhūtāmbilī was Bāṣkala’s capital and was situated within the Mahādurga-adhikaraṇa in Jyeṣṭhuka-deśa  which is stated to have formed part of Nava-Surāṣṭrā-maṇḍala.

This inscribed copper plate (mentioning  Bhūtāmbilī) was found in the course of digging operations at Ghūmlī in the former Navanagar State. The date corresponds to the 22nd April, 989 A.D. and it records the grant of a village made by Rāṇaka Bāṣkaladeva surnamed Kuṃkumalola, for the merit of his parents, in favour of a Brāhmaṇa.
