Pick up from your hotel at 8:00 AM for a full-day excursion to Modhera, Rani ki Vav, and Panchasara Jain Temple.
Visit the Modhera Sun Temple, dedicated to the solar deity Surya and located on the banks of the Pushpavati River. Built in 1026-27 CE during the reign of Bhima I of the Chaulukya dynasty, this temple complex features the Gudhamandapa (shrine hall), the Sabhamandapa (assembly hall), and the Kunda (stepwell reservoir). The intricately carved halls and detailed pillars, along with the stepwell with its numerous small shrines, showcase the temple’s architectural and religious significance.
Explore Rani ki Vav (the Queen’s Stepwell), a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the banks of the Saraswati River. This 11th-century stepwell, constructed by a queen in memory of her husband, is designed as an inverted temple emphasizing the sanctity of water. It includes seven levels of stairs adorned with over 500 principal sculptures and more than a thousand minor ones, illustrating a rich blend of religious, mythological, and secular themes.
Visit the Panchasara Jain Temple, built around the 8th century by King Vanraj Chavada. The temple is surrounded by 51 mini temples and houses a revered idol of Lord Parshwanath, which is believed to be older than the main temple. Known for its intricate marble carvings, the temple provides a glimpse into the detailed artistry and architectural skills of Jain craftsmen.
Drive back to Ahmedabad with an approximate return time of 8:00 PM and drop off at your hotel after a day of exploring these historical and architectural treasures.
