The Structural Temples of Gujarat
The inscription of Vastup膩la dated V. S. 1291 (A. D. 1235)
records the erection of a ma峁囜笉apa by Vastupala to Ga峁噀艣a
temple at Ghumali. 2 3 1
There existed a temple dedicated to sun-god Jayaditya at
Nagara (near Cambay). The said temple was damaged by
heavy rainfall in V. S. 1220 (A. D. 1233), therefore, according
to an inscription found in the vicinity of the temple Vastup膩la
repaired the temple and new images were enshrined therein in
the year V. S. 1292 (A. D. 1236).*3* The temple does not exist
to-day. From the size of the image found from the site, Shri
Ratnamani Rao Jote guesses that the temple may be as large as
that of the sun temple at Modhera.293
The Jain temple at Sankhesvar (Dist. Banas-Kantha) is
said to have been restored by Vastupala-Tejap膩la and enclosed
by series of Devakulik膩s (cells) around it in V.S 1286 (A. D.
1230). 234
There are other temples notably at Satrunjaya which are
Isaid to have been built by Vastupala and Tejap膩la, but these
have been renovated to such an extent that in the absence of
any ephigraphic record, it is not possible to identify them with
any certainty. 235

(somewhere) two images of Ratnadevi and Rajadevi consorts of
Surya. The reference, has some relation to the temple of Jayaditya at
Nagara (near Cambay) which was repaired and new images were
enshrined therein by Vastup膩la.
