Shiva temple, Kera

[2] The Shiva temple is located in Kera village in Bhuj of Kutch district in Gujarat.

It is well connected by road through various cities in the state and is at a distance of about 22 kilometres (14 mi) to the south of Bhuj.

[6] In the 1819 Rann of Kutch earthquake, the temple was substantially damaged, leaving only the main spire and inner sanctum in a good condition.

Of the original hall or mandapa of the temple, which had a width of 18 ft 9 in (5.72 m), only the northern wall has survived.

These sculptural formations are repeated one above the other in gradually reducing size, as the height of the spire increases.
