Ruined temple was dedicated to Rudra, a form of the Hindu deity Shiva. It was built by the Chaulukya (Solanki) rulers of Gujarat and took nearly 175 years and three generation of rulers from Mulraj to Siddhraj Jaysimha to complete. It is estimated that it had a three-storey shikhara, 12 entrances and 1,600 pillars. It was surrounded by more shrines and had ornamental gateways (torana). Later it was destroyed in the 12th and 15th centuries by Ulugh Khan and Ahmad Shah and a part of it was converted in a mosque. Now a row of surrounding shrines, two porticos and torana is all that surviving. The idols of deities and parts of the temple are scattered around. As it is now a contested site, it is closed to public, but a security guard may allow you to have a look.
