History & tradition
The Shiva temple at Kera, also known as the Lakheshwara temple of Kerakot, is in Kera village near Bhuj in the Kutch district of Gujarat. It was built under the Chaulukya (Solanki) dynasty in the later part of the 10th century and is dedicated to Shiva. The temple was badly damaged in the earthquake of 1819 and again in the Bhuj earthquake of 2001, but its spire, inner sanctum and sculptures survive in good condition.
