  • Dear friends of Archaeology science and History, We have plenty of information about Bhadreshwar Jain Tirth of KUTCH which is one of the PANCHTIRTH of KUTCH of Jains. The old Jain tirth temple was destroyed during the last earthquake of 26 January 2001. We visited the place for three times soon after the earthquake along with HISTORIAN AND EX MUSEUM CURATOR. AND FINDING WE FOUND WERE SO ASTONISING that we could not believe. The temple was under the reconstruction plan. and old statues found from underground were as old as 830 years long before the history starts for Bhadreshwar. We read and interpreted the SHILALEKH dated as Vikram Sanvant 1234 which is 2064-1234=830 years back. not only that a statue of Vishnu was found there from the old rubbish found underground and is kept in KUTCH museum of Bhuj. Many NATRAJ statues are also found and is stored in the store Bhadreshwar temple. The actual Bhadreshwar was established long before the present Bhadreshwar history and establishment says. it goes back beyond 2000BC. We are still searching the area for such proofs. on the river bank of BHADRAVATI river Near Bhadreshwar village. But presently what we see are also going to disappear soon if not cared for it. amongst 3 main places are there to be cared for. Though temple is well cared and new construction is going on as we pictured last July 2007. but following are in threats of disappearance if not cared soon. 1) OLD GUFI SHILALEKH of Mahel Of BHADRESHWAR This OLD GUFI SHILALEKH of Mahel is one of the Oldest SHILALEKH of Bhadreshwar (during Bhadreshwar establishment)and is not looked after and soon will disappear if not cared for the old monuments. 2) OLD Mahel Of BHADRESHWAR This MAHAL is one of the Oldest Monumnet of Bhadreshwar (during Bhadreshwar establishment)and is not looked after and soon will disappear if not cared for the old monuments. 3)BHADRESHWAR OLD JAIN TEMPLE This is one of the Oldest Monumnet of Bhadreshwar Which is destroyed in earthquake of 26 January 2001 And new constructoin is underway 4) BHADRESHWAR OLD VAAV (Stepped Well) This Vaav is one of the Oldest Monumnet of Bhadreshwar (during Bhadreshwar establishment)and is not looked after and soon will disappear if not cared for the old monuments.
