History & tradition
The Kiradu temples are a group of ruined temples in the Barmer district of Rajasthan, in the Thar Desert about 35 km from Barmer and 157 km from Jaisalmer. The remains of at least five temples survive. The best preserved is the Someshvara temple, dedicated to Shiva. Inscriptions suggest the temples were built in the 11th and 12th centuries by vassals of the Chaulukya (Solanki) kings.
