History & tradition
The temples at Pindara stand near the sea in the Kalyanpur taluka of Devbhoomi Dwarka district, Gujarat, about eleven miles east of Dwarka. They belong to the Maitraka–Saindhava period and were built between the 7th and 10th centuries; the Phamsana-style shrines date from the middle of the 8th century, under the Saindhavas. Local people associate the place with the sage Durvasa and call it Durvasa Rishi Ashram. Excavations in 1965 recovered many sculptures and Saindhava coins.
