Bhadresar or Bhadreshwar is a village in Mundra Taluka, Kutch district of Gujarat, India.〔(CSE analyses: EIA report of thermal power project, Bhadreshwar, Kutch, Gujarat )〕 It is about 27 km from Taluka headquarters Mundra〔(Bhadreshwar Temple )〕 and barely a kilometer away from seashore.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gujarattourism.com/showpage.aspx?contentid=263&webpartid=532 )〕 ==History== Bhadresar is the site of the ancient city of Bhadravati. Most of the ruins have been carried away, even the foundations having been dug up for building stone.〔 Bhadravati is mentioned in epic ''Mahabharata''.〔()〕 The earliest source of information regarding place is an inscription on the Ajitnath statue in Vasai Jain temple which records Samvat 622 (555 AD) which may be marking Samvat 1622 (1565 AD) also. The Vasai Jain Temple is said to have been founded in the 21st year of the Vairat era, and dedicated to Vasai by Siddhasen of the race of Hari. His successors were Mahasen, Narsen, Bhojraj, Vanraj, Sarangdev, Virasen, Harisen, who lived in the time of Vikram (57 BC). Then came Kirtidhara, Dharnipal, Devdatt, and Danjiraj. Then, after a time of confusion came, 156 (Samvat 213), Vanraj Vaghela of Munjpur, and after him Yograj, Ratnadatt, and Vijayarav. Next, after a time of misrule, the Kathis of Pavargad seized Bhadravati and kept it for 147 years. After them, 651 (Samvat 618), Kanak Chavda of Patan took the country, built the temple, and in 555 (Samvat 622) set up the statue of Ajitnath which may be brought in to fit the date on the statue. Kanak's successor, though invaded by Muslims, was followed by his son Bhuvad who lost his kingdom to the Solankis of Bhangadh. The new rulers changed the name of the place to Bhadresar in 741 (Samvat 798), and continued to hold it till 1132 (Samvat 1189).〔〔〔 The other statues of Jain temple marks Samvat 1232 (1175 AD) as their dates. Perhaps the earliest historical fact is that in the twelfth century (1125), Jagdusha, a Jain merchant and philanthropist who had made a fortune as a grain dealer in a time of famine, received a grant of Bhadresar and had the temple so thoroughly repaired that all traces of antiquity were removed. Dying childless in 1181 (Samvat 1238) it fell to Naughan Vaghela, and in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries was a most popular place of pilgrimage among Jains. Under the Jadejas it was seized by Jam Hala and afterwards by Jam Raval in 1535 (Samvat 1592). At the close of the seventeenth century (1693) it was plundered by a Muhammadan forces and many of the images were broken. Since then it has been neglected. In 1768 the walls of the old fort began to be pulled down and the stones used for building, and about 1810 even the old temples were razed to supply stones to build the seaport town of Mundra.〔 On 15 December 1815, the army of Cutch State was defeated near Bhadresar. The armies of British East India Company was led by Colonel East and the army of Cutch was led by a Muslim commander, Hussain Miyan met near Bhadresar. The British army was behind the ''Vasai Jain Temple'' and temple was coming in between them. Husain Miyan respected the sanctity of temple and he didn’t fire on British, fearing temples might be damaged. The British army won and occupied the fortified town of Anjar, port of Tuna and adjacent villages by 25 December 1815. This led to negotiations between rulers of Cutch and British. The Jadeja rulers of Kutch accepted the suzerainty of British in 1818 and Captain James MacMurdo was posted as British Political Resident stationed at Bhuj. The Anjar district, however, remained under direct occupation of British forces for seven years till 25 December 1822, when it handed back to Cutch State by an agreement.〔〔(Glimpse of Anjar, Kutch )〕 After independence of India in 1947, Cutch State acceded unto the dominion of India and was constituted an independent commissionaire, Kutch State. In 1956, Kutch State was merged with Bombay state, which in 1960 was divided into the new linguistic states of Gujarat and Maharashtra, with Kutch becoming part of Gujarat state. Bhadresar now falls under Mundra Taluka of Kutch district. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bhadresar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
