History & tradition
The Gop Temple is a Sun temple at Zinavari village in the Jamjodhpur taluka of Jamnagar district, Gujarat, on the bank of the Vartu river south-west of the Gop hill in the Barda Hills. Dated to the 6th century, it is one of the earliest stone temples surviving in Gujarat. The original temple had a square plan with a hall and a covered passage for circumambulation, both now lost. What remains is the shrine with part of its stepped pyramidal roof, rising about 23 feet and decorated with arch-shaped window motifs beneath a ribbed crown.
