A Survey of the Structural Temples of Pre-Caulukyan Times 75
near Junagadh. A few remains of the old temple, including
some old images of black granite were pointed out in the
surroundings of the present temple by Dr. Bhagwanlal Indraji. 19
The Traik奴ta kings ruled over South Gujarat during this
period, were also followers of Vaisnavism. But no remains of
any Brahmanical temples built during their reign have come to
light. A guild of silk-weavers that migrated from L膩峁璦 (south
Gujarat) and settled at Da艣apura (modern Dasar or Man-Dosar
in Malva) is known to have built a sun temple in the city.
But their exist no remains of the temple at present.
The earliest known architectural monument in Gujarat are
generally assigned to the 5th Century A. D. They represent
structural temples of different styles. The temple at Gop, 20 in
Barada Hills was dedicated to Sun and the temple at Kadvar
near Veraval to the Var盲ha, incarnation of Vi峁ａ箛u
19. The present Dam蓴dar Mandir which was built probably on the old
site of the Cakrabh峁沬t temple in the 15th cent. during the rule of
Mandalika, the last Chud膩sam膩 ruler of Junagadh. At the time of
Muslaman conquest (A. D. 1484) as violence was feared the images
were removed and buried. Mandalika temple was repaired by Amarji
Dewan of Junagadh (1759-1784 A. D.). It was proposed to make and
consecrate new images. But certain old images of Vi峁ａ箛u were found in
digging foundation for the enclosure wall and were consecrated. Two
of these images were taken by Girnara Brahmins and consecrated in
the names of Baldeva and Revati in a neighbouring temple specially
built for them. Of the original temple the only trace is a pilaster into
the wall to the right as one enters. The style and carving are of the
Gupta period. (BG. I. Pt. I. ch. VII p. 70)
20. Burgess placed the temple of Gop at least as old as 6th cent. A. D.
(AKK. p. 187) but on the an蓴logy of the evolution of Caitya-window
ornament Dr. H. D. Sankalia assings it to the 5th cent. A. D. i. e.
a century earlier than that fixed by Burgess (AG. p. 59).
