History & tradition
The Galteshwar Temple is at Sarnal village near Dakor in the Kheda district of Gujarat, at the confluence of the Galti and Mahi rivers; it takes its name from the Galti. Dedicated to Shiva, the 12th-century temple is unusual for the region because it is built in the bhumija style of central India, with some influence from the Chaulukya architecture of Gujarat. It has a square sanctum and an octagonal hall. Tradition associates the place with the sage Galav and the devout king Chandrahas.
