The Rudra Mahalaya Temple is an ancient temple complex at Siddhpur in the Patan district of Gujarat, India. The temple was completed in 1140 by Jayasimha Siddharaja, but in 1296, Alauddin Khalji sent an army under Ulugh Khan and Nusrat Khan, who dismantled the structure. In 1414 or 1415, the temple was further destroyed and the western part was converted into a congregational mosque by Muslim ruler Ahmad Shah I of the Muzaffarid dynasty. Apart from the mosque, the surviving fragments consist of two porches, a torana (ornamental gateway) and a few pillars. Photograph credit: Bourne & Shepherd; retouched by Yann Forget

Issues edit
- Patel, Alka (2004). "Architectural Histories Entwined: The Rudra-Mahalaya/Congregational Mosque of Siddhpur, Gujarat". Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians. 63 (2): 144–163. doi:10.2307/4127950. JSTOR 4127950. should have been used extensively.
- Scholars studying the Rudra Mahalaya have been mostly intrigued by the partial destruction and reuse. The events, the motivations etc. We had nothing on that.
- I have added a single line.
- The dimensions and all architectural details are disputed (see Patel.)

The article is barely Start-class. See a list of issues. TrangaBellam (talk) 10:15, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
- I agree with your assessment. I don't remember that it was promoted to GA. It does not meet GA standards in my opinion. Needs a lot of work to be GA. It is start-class. - Nizil (talk) 17:55, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
