Panchasar

Panchasar is a village in Shankheshwar Taluka of Patan district of Gujarat, India.

During the seventh century it was the capital of Jai Shikhri of the Chavda dynasty or Chapotkat clan, and was so splendid a city that, according to the court bard, no one living there had any desire for Paradise.

This boasting of his bard brought against Jai Shikhri (697) the power of the king of Kalyan Katak.

His wife, saved by her husband's forethought, became the mother of Vanraj Chavda, the founder (746) of the city of Anhilwad Patan.

At Rantoj and Shankheshwar near Panchasar, are Jain temples more than once re-built, and probably holding the same sites since very early times.
