The Ananteshwar temple, also called Anteshwar mandir, is an early 12th-century in Anandpur Bhadia in central Gujarat. It is dedicated to Shiva and traditionally attributed to king Anant Chudasama. The town served as a regional capital and trading post till the 14th-century when it suffered catastrophic depopulation due to Sultanate wars. The town and temple were abandoned. The town and temple were cleaned, restored and resettled in the 17th-century.
The Ananteswar temple is large, sits on a jagati (specially designed platform) and faces east. It includes a mandapa, an antarala and a garbhagriya. The outer walls are extensively and intricately carved with Hindu artwork. The artwork and the temple show extensive signs of desecration.
