Temple By No Comments

The Bhimnath Mahadev Temple, situated in Akota (formerly known as Ankottaka), holds a significant place in the history of the region. This site is recognized as the location of the earliest human settlement along the Vishwamitri River, dating back nearly 2,200 years. According to renowned archaeologist V. H. Sonawane, the origins of the city can be traced to the pavement stones used in the temple, which bear mason marks from the 2nd century BC. Over time, this initial settlement eventually migrated to Vatpadraka, the present-day Vadodara.
