India: Hindu temple, Kutch, Gujarat State

Kutch (often spelled Kachch) is the northwestern part of the Indian state of Gujarat, divided from the main part of the state by the Arabian Sea and a stretch of salt marshes. To its north lies the Pakistani province of Sind. The name Kutch is said to be derived from the Kachelas, a sub-caste of the lohar (blacksmiths’) or soni (goldsmiths’) castes.
