English: The Shiv Panchayatan Group One is a 15th-century Hindu temples complex in Antarsuba village of Sabarkantha district in Gujarat. It is one of several historic Panchayatana temple complexes in Polo forest midst the hills and rivers, near Gujarat and Rajasthan border.
This panchayatana complex has five shrines, all in ruins. They stand on a high jagati (platform). The largest temple is in the center and faces west, while the other four are smaller shrines near the corners of the jagati. The layout and style mirrors the recommendations found in historic Advaita Vendanta literature.
The main temple is dedicated to Shiva. It is chaturangi-style, with a sringar-chowki, a mandapa, an antarala and a sanctum. One the outer walls of the sanctum are reliefs of Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma. A notable feature of this temple is the presence of many Surya icons, as well Shakti (goddess) and Vedic deities iconography. Thus, like almost all historic Hindu temples in west India, this major temples complex simultaneously reveres Shaiva, Vaishnava, Shakta and Saura traditions.
