Bhadresar or Bhadreshwar /bəˈdrɛswər/ is a village in Mundra Taluka, Kutch district of Gujarat, India.
His successors were Mahasen, Narsen, Bhojraj, Vanraj, Sarangdev, Virasen, and Harisen, who lived in the time of Vikram (57 BC).
Perhaps the earliest historical fact is that in Samvat 1182 (1125 AD), Jagdusha, a Jain merchant and philanthropist who had made a fortune as a grain dealer in a time of famine, received a grant of Bhadreshwar and had the temple so thoroughly repaired that all traces of antiquity were removed.
He died without heirs in 1181 (Samvat 1238) and the village fell into the hands Naughan Vaghela and his vakils Ajjaramal Shantidas and Nagandas Tejpal.
Vastupal-Tejapal, the ministers in court of Viradhaval of Vaghela dynasty visited the temple with Sangha in Samvat 1286 and was well received by Navghan.
[citation needed] The British army won and occupied the fortified town of Anjar, port of Tuna and adjacent villages by 25 December 1815.
The Anjar district, however, remained under direct occupation of British forces for seven years until 25 December 1822, when it was handed back to Cutch State by an agreement.
[2] It is said a Jain layman named Devchandra laid the foundation stone of this temple centuries ago.
The chronicles of Mistris of Kutch, mention that they were the architects and artisans, who renovated temples during the earthquakes of 1819, 1844–45 and 1875.
It stands in a court about 48 feet wide by 85 long, surrounded by a row of forty-four shrines with a corridor in front.
The temple, facing the east, is entered by a flight of steps that rise from the outer door to the covered area in front of the sanctuary.
At the south-west corner and behind the cells on the left side is a row of chambers with cellars entered by lifting up flagstones in the floor.
The roof of the porch is flat and divided into 9×3 small squares, each with lotus flowers inside.
The original entrance is on the east side, within which is built a small chamber, apparently never finished.
At the back is a mehrab, a plain semi-circular recess, and two neat doors leading into an inner apartment, possibly a second place of prayer for a select number.
This mosque is built of pretty large stones, most accurately jointed, and all the roofs are of flat slabs.
The architraves are carved with neat veli or creeper patterns and with large flowers below.
The pillars are square at the base, octagonal in the middle and circular above having bracket capitals above to support lintels which are 9 feet long.
