Div

    History – Div is one of the Ajahara sacred places in the Saurashtra region. This village is mentioned in the Kalpasutra thus giving an evidence about the historicity of the place. It is said that Hirvijaysurishvaraji had come here for his monsoon sojourn(Chaturmas). Because of the artistic beauty and antiquity of the idol, it came to be known as Navlakha Parshwanatha. We can find two more Jain temples in the village.
