Summary[edit]
Description10th-century shikhara, half plan section, Nilakantha Mahadeva Hindu temple, Sunak Gujarat India.jpg |
English: Sunak (also called Sonak) is a village about 8 kilometers west of Unjha town in Gujarat, and close to State Highway 130. It is southwest of Siddhapur. Sunak has a 10th-century Nilkantha Mahadeva temple, which though ruined and mutilated, preserves the original Hindu Nagara temple structural and architectural elements.
Sunak area has many historic temples, all of them in mutilated and ruined form, some due to natural erosion and mostly from destruction during religious wars and vandalism after the 13th-century. The Nilakantha Mahadeva temple is one of the nationally protected monuments of India, managed by Archaeological Survey of India (N-GJ-165). This artwork is based on the photographs and sectional drawings of Henry Cousens published in 2D form in 1885 and 1903 (See e.g. The Architectural Antiquities of Northern Gujarat, Jas Burgess and Henry Cousens (1903), Archaeological Survey of Western India Volume IX, Plates LXXXI to LXXXVI).
