The Gir National Park, which is home to the world's Asiatic lions (Panthera leo persica), comprises dry deciduous forests that are intersected by rivers and reservoirs. From June to October 2021, we conducted a study documenting the odonates in the Park. In total, we recorded 48 species from the study area. We provide an annotated list of odonates found in the Gir National Park and compare our findings with other lists. Gomphidia t-nigrum, Macromia cingulata, and Libellago indica were observed for the first time in Gujarat state, India.
