Description Kahdir island, on the Great Rann of Kutch, Bachu taluka, Gujarat.
Standing stones in Shiva's avatar temple. The stones are ancient. This area of the Indian sub-continent is subject to earthquakes. The stones survived the earthquakes but not the temples. The stones were placed in the new built temple.
