Bhanvad

Bhanvad lies near the Barda hills in western Saurashtra. Nearby Ghumli was a capital of the Jethwa rulers and preserves remains of its fortifications and temples. The Navlakha temple, dedicated to the Sun, is among the most striking monuments of this older centre, with richly carved stonework rising above the surrounding country. Bhanvad itself has an old shrine of Bhannath Mahadev, linking the settlement to the religious landscape of the region.
