Anjar in Gujarat, Places to Visit, How to Reach

Places to visit

BhadeshwarMahadev Mandir : A shrine attributed to the warrior Ajay Pal, who is considered to be the founder of Anjar, may be found in the city's western outskirts. This temple was quite close to two other ancient temples known as "JesalToral Samadhi" or "The Tombs of Jesal and Toral," which were built around the tombs of Saint Toral and Saint Jesal. There is an intriguing story about JesalToral Samadhi: in the year 1500 CE, or about 500 years ago, there lived a violent robber named Jesal in Anjar, whose heart was stolen by the beauty of a female saint named Toral. When the female Saint Toral learned of Jesal's intentions, she transformed him from a robber to a sage, and Jesal was acknowledged as Saint Jesal by the locals. Both Saint Toral and Saint Jesal chose this temple as the location for their Samadhi ceremony, which was extensively practiced by saints in ancient India to bury themselves alive within a Samadhi in order to achieve nirvana. This made the town immensely popular in the surrounding area.
