Rudra Mahalaya - Historical landmark in Siddhpur - Patan, India

Amazing archaeological remains. Protected monuments, no entry for visitors. Took photos from adjacent road and rooftop. Approach roads are narrow. Limited parking on the road. Locals have stolen bricks and stone blocks and used in their own home construction. Looking at the old houses adjacent to this monument revealed carved stone block bases of wooden pillars. Bricks are also old.

Currently this area is covered under protected area and this place and monuments has been declared to be national importance, even entry and photography is also prohibited. but really very historical temple of Loard shiva

An example of Love of purposeful art and also a hate to kill the art. A clear subconscious reflection of the mindset of two religions. Archeological Surver of Bharat should actively enter and try to save this Heritage monument. In today's Bullet & Chandrayan era such masterpieces are really rare. Sidhdhraj Jaisinh dynesty.
