Kapilkot

Kapilkot was a fortified centre at Kera in Kutch, associated with the ruler Lakha Phulani. Near the remains of the fort stands an old temple of Shiva, whose carved stone tower preserves the craftsmanship of the region. The fort and shrine recall a time when Kera was a seat of authority in central Kutch, before later rulers made Bhuj their capital. Earthquakes damaged the buildings, but their surviving stonework still marks the older settlement.
