Gurjara-Pratihara or Rashtrakuta
History & significance
A group of seven small stone shrines about 18 km from Himmatnagar, raised over perhaps two centuries during the tripartite struggle between the Gurjara-Pratiharas and Rashtrakutas. Scholars treat them as the ancestor of the later Solanki or Maru-Gurjara manner, and an idol inscription at the site is dated Samvat 1104 (1048 CE).
