Devka-Sun Temple
Distance : 62 km from Barmer
About 12 km north of Shiv is a tiny
hamlet by the name of Devka, also situated on the Jaisalmer-Barmer
road. Established in the 12th or the 13th century the major tourist
spot in this little village is the Vishnu Temple, famour for its
temple architecture.. Nearby lie two more temples in a very
dilapidated state. However, still existing in these temples are
beautifully carved images of Lord Ganesh (the elephant god and Shivas
son) on stone. The Devka Sun Temple is also worth paying a visit to.
