Gujarat, which is well-known for its wealth and tourism potential due to its coastal region, is also surprising people with its architectural marvels. The state’s architecture spans three distinct historical periods. The first is the contemporary architecture that emerged from Jainism as the state’s predominant religion. The second is Hindu architecture, which flourished from the eleventh to the thirteenth centuries. Hindu architecture generally consists of an octagonal, closed, pillared hall that comes before a square hall with a sikhara on top. One example of this kind of Gujarati temple is the Sun temple in Modhera.
