About
Navlakha Temple at Ghumli is a dramatic ruined stone shrine in the Barda Hills of Gujarat's Devbhumi Dwarka district, originally built by the Jethwa dynasty in the 11th–12th centuries. The temple stands on a remarkably ornate plinth with the highest decorated stone base (adhishthana) of any Solanki-period temple in Gujarat, featuring intricate mouldings of elephants, horses, scrollwork, and divine figures rising over seven decorative bands.
