Bhadreshwar Jain Temple

History about the temple

The first establishment of the temple was laid 100 years ago by a Jain patron named Devchandra. This was then revamped in the year 1125 by Jagdusha, who was an eminent and affluent Jain vendor and giver. During the numerous quakes that struck this locale in the 17th and 18th hundreds of years, this temple was renovated by the Mistris of Kutch. The latest quake in 2001 brought about complete annihilation of the temple. The temple has now gone through a total rebuilding and restoration.
