Sinnar

Sinnar is an old town on the Deccan plateau southeast of Nashik. Its Gondeshwar temple, dedicated to Shiva, is a notable monument of the Yadava period. The stone complex centres on the main shrine and includes subsidiary temples around it, with a pavilion for Nandi, Shiva’s bull. Local tradition credits a Yadava chief named Govinda with commissioning the temple. The settlement is associated with the early Yadava centre of Seunapura, remembered in records of the rulers of Chandor.
