Gujarat’s religious landscape features architectural landmarks spanning over a millennium. This collection includes the shore-side Somnath Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, and the Dwarkadhish Temple, a key Char Dham site. Highlights include the Solanki-style Sun Temple at Modhera, the intricate Jain temple clusters of Girnar and Palitana, and the UNESCO-listed Jami Masjid in Champaner.
