Dear friends of Archaeology science and History,
We have plenty of information about Bhadreshwar of KUTCH which is one of the
PANCHTIRTH of KUTCH for Jains. But Just south of BHADRESHWAR on sea side there
is a famous Shiva temple knows as CHOKHANDA MAHADEVA temple. The old Shiva
temple was destroyed during the last earthquake of 26 January 2001. We visited
the place for two times soon after the earthquake along with HISTORIAN AND EX
MUSEUM CURATOR. AND FINDING WE FOUND WERE SO ASTONISING to be published for.

The New temple is constructed http://www.panoramio.com/photo/5303601with new
interior and New Shivlinga http://www.panoramio.com/photo/5303879 But an old
statues found from underground are kept in a museum room of the temple.
http://www.panoramio.com/photo/5303696 We read and interpreted the SHILALEKHs.
not only that a statue of Shiva is preserved there and is kept in their museum.
amongst 3 main things are TAMRA PATRA of King of the Kutch. The OLD Shilalekh
which was believed to be oldest of that place.

construction completed as we pictured during our last visit last July 2007.
The earthquake gave us the new findings which found during excavation for the
new construction after earthquake. http://www.panoramio.com/photo/8430522
