Introduction:
Many temples were built in and around Ahmedabad in Maratha era. Among these many have lost their original beauty due to many modifications and deterioration. Among the existing temples the Hatkeshwar temple of Visnagara Nagars , on the way to Bala Hanuman is a noticable one. This Mahadev temple is known after the name of its builder Amrutlal Tuljaram. The temple is an example of Maratha Era’s traditional Solanki Architecture. The temple is east facing. Surrounding the main temple are several shrines of different gods and goddesses. On the north face of the temple complex is a elaborately carved wooden facade , which has been damaged and has also been modified in portions. This wooden facade is in threat of deterioration and complete loss.
