| Description |
Pindara has been an important religious centre since the early historical period as it has been recorded in several ancient texts. An onshore exploration on the northwestern coast of Saurashtra brought to light the remains of a temple complex presently lying in inter tidal zone of Pindara. There are several temples on the coast of Pindara, which are dated between 7th and 10th century A.D. The archaeological evidence indicates the advancement of shoreline during last 1000 years near Pindara. It is difficult to assign a particular reason for the submergence of temple, however, minor sea level rise and seismic activity might have played a vital role in submerging of the temple
