Rudra Mahalaya ( Rudramal ), Siddhpur - History details

Rudra Mahalaya Temple in Siddhpur began under Mularaja (943 CE) and was completed by Jayasimha Siddharaja in 1140 CE. Once a vast Shiva complex with toranas and hundreds of pillars, it was later destroyed; parts were repurposed as a mosque under Ahmed Shah I in the 15th century. Surviving gateways and pillars exemplify Māru‑Gurjara artistry.
