Structural Temples of the Caulukyan Period 183 The Jain temple of SiddhapÄla Vasati was erected in V. S.
1241 (A. D. 1185) at Anahilapura. 236 The temple cannot be
traced so far.
Vadhu, the ancestor of Sobhandeva who was the Governor.
of Lata in V. S. 1247 (A. D. 1187) built a temple to Mahavira.
in Sangama Khetaka (probably modern Sankheda which is
situated on the confluence of the rivers Shedhi and Meshwo).
His son Kaparadi built a temple to Adinatha in Vaá¹­asara. 237
None of these temples exists.
Sreá¹£thi Pethaá¸a erected a Jain temple dedicated to Mahavira
at Vijapura in V. S. 1256 (A. D. 1200). 238 The temple does
not survive.
The dates in the inscriptions found on serval images of
PahalaviyÄ PÄrÅ›vanatha temple at Palanpur (Dist. Banaskantha)
imply that the temple was built in the Solanki period. The
principal image of Prahaladan PÄrÅ›vanÄth bears an inscription
of V. S. 1274 (A. D. 1218). The said image was consecrated by
Kakkasuri. 89 The original temple does not exist but a new
three-storeyed temple is erected on the old site.
39 The inscription dated V. S. 1290, (1234 A. D.) engraved
on the one of the Southern pillars of the temple of Nilkantha
Mahadeva at Miyani records the erection of Mandapa of the
said temple. 240
