Brahm Kund, Sihore, Bhavnagar

Brahm Kund, Sihore, Bhavnagar

The settlement of Sihore, which served as the former capital of the Gohilwad Kingdom, is located 22 kilometres from Bhavnagar in a tranquil area. The mural on the royal palace and the town's numerous temples both reflect the residents' strong spiritual beliefs and the majesty of the era in which they were erected. One of the most beautiful instances of this area is the lake at the Gautameshwar Temple and the Shiva temple constructed on its bank.

Brahma Kund's precise dates are uncertain. Skanda Purana makes reference to it.

According to mythology, the queen he had taken from Junagadh, Ranakadevi, had cursed the Chaulukya monarch Siddhraj Jaisinh and caused him to have a skin condition. After taking a bath in this tank, he was healed, therefore he renovated the tank. The tank's water is still regarded as magical.  It is referenced in Merutunga's Prabandha-Chintamani. Since the 12th century, the tank has continued to find references to and allusions to Siddharaja.

A labyrinth of stairs, little temples, metaphors, motifs, and statues of Hindu deities, as well as stone carvings of various scientific concepts, make up Brahma Kund, which was constructed in the manner of mediaeval architecture.

Near the tank is the Neelkanth Mahadev temple. Gautam Lake is a body of water, and Gautameshwar Temple is situated close by.

The water tank is a state-protected landmark hence It is now in deplorable condition.
