It has great architecture and it remains 5 c cooler than the outside environment. The Flood of the Saraswati river filled the stepwell with mud.

Sahastraling talav (Sahastara = 1000, Ling = Shivling, Talav = lake) means Lake with 1,000 Shivling. It is in a ruined condition and behind the stepwell. Earlier the water was flowing here from the Saraswati river. Its size is 5 km but it appears very small and ruined currently. It was also created 1,000 years back and dug by the King of Patan during that time.

Jain Mandir and Devda Sweets (Patan)

Panchasarar Jain Mandir is a very ancient and beautiful temple. It’s in the centre of the city and has very beautiful carvings on marble.

Yes, the most stunning architecture to see. Personally, I suggest seeing if you really love the heritage and arts.

There is no railway station in Modhera village. Mahesana and Patan are the nearest railway stations. Both are approximately 30 km from Modhera. Mahesana is well-connected by train (Ahmedabad – Delhi route). You can reach by cab or jeep from the Mahesana railway station.

How to reach Modhera Sun Temple from Ahmedabad airport?

Another option is to reach Adalaj Junction from the airport. From there, you can get buses, private jeeps, and other vehicles to Mehsana every 30 minutes. From Mehsana, you can again take a bus to Modhera.
