The Gujjar Deva group, also called Gujjar Deo temples, are ruins of 11th to 12th century Hindu temples in Dwarahat. At its center is a panchayatana complex of five temples on a jagati, of which only the ruins of four survive. With exquiste artwork, the site illustrates the style and artwork principles found predominantly about 1,300 kilometers away in Gujarat, west Madhya Pradesh and south Rajasthan. The socles, mouldings and friezes of the Gujjar Deo main temple, for example, are quite similar – though not identical – to the Nilakantha temple of Ruhavi (Mehsana district, Gujarat).
Dwarahat is a historic site in Uttarakhand with many groups of Hindu temples built and restored between the 8th and the 16th century. These temples are attributed to various Hindu kings and queens from different dynasties, particularly those from the Katyuri dynasty. Totaling about 55 Hindu temples, they are notable as central Himalayan temples with Maru-Gurjara architecture found in and near Gujarat – another testament to the flow of ideas across long distances in medieval India. The Dwarahat temples were reduced to ruins by Delhi Sultanate and later the Mughals. Some were restored after the 15th century, and more recently in the 21st century by regional Hindu community and the ASI.
