Trineteshwar
Temple
|
At a distance of 9 kms away from Than is the ancient
Trinetreshwar temple. It is believed that the temple
belongs to the Solanki Era. The Pratihara kings, predominantly
the worshippers of Lord Shiva were great buildures
and architecturally brilliant.
They were ardent patrons of art and sculpture. The
Trinetreshwar temple is an ornate and evolved example
of its time portraying the Gurjjar Pratihar style.
Owing to the reign of the Pratihar kings, the regions
were later called as the Panchal region.
A renowned intellect Shastri Harkrishna Prabhashankar
Trivedi holds the temple to be the most beautiful
religious monuments and the finest example of aesthetic
sculpture in Guajrat.
