The Gondeshwar temple was built during the rule of the Seuna (Yadava) dynasty, and is variously dated to either the 11th[1] or the 12th century.

[2] Sinnar was a stronghold of the dynasty during their pre-imperial period, and modern historians identify it with Seunapura, a town established by the Yadava king Seuanchandra.

[3] According to local tradition, the town of Sinnar was established by the Gavali (that is, Yadava) chief Rav Singhuni, and the Gondeshvara temple was commissioned by his son Rav Govinda, at a cost of 200,000 rupees.

[9] The subsidiary shrines are dedicated to Surya, Vishnu, Parvati, and Ganesha: all of them have a porch.

[1] They are rectangular in plan, and include a mandapa, an antarala (vestibule), and the garbhagriha (sanctum).
