Kutch, 2005
Area: 1 km²
Brief: The Temple situated 50kms away from Bhuj in North Gujarat lies in a near ruinous state. Lakha (942 AD –997 AD) built this Shiv temple known as Lakheswar Mahadev along with a fort in his capital Kapil Kot, the present Kera village. Faint traces of the wall are evident. The Earthquake of 1819 brought the entire mandapa and garbhagriha subsequently in 2001 earthquakes. Of the mandapa which measured 5.7 mts wide, only a part of the north wall with one window in it is left; the amlasila of the Shikhar lies outside, a block about 2 mts in diameter. At present the Shikhar is spliced into two. Archaeological Survey of India undertook some repair work in 1998 and tried to rebuild the walls.
