Abiria also known as Abhiria, Aberia, or Abhiradesha was the country of the Abhira Kshatriyas in ancient India. It is mentioned in the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea and by Ptolemy in his Geographia. The Periplus mentions it as Aberia with the coastal district Syrastrene (modern-day Saurashtra, Gujarat), and Ptolemy locates it above the Indus delta.
