300 years old ‘Gori jo Mandar’ or Temple of Gori is Situated between Islamkot and Nangarparkar, Gori jo Mandar is shrouded in mystery. Even its original name is lost in antiquity, having changed many times in the course of the centuries.
With no written history of the temple having survived, the only story as to its origin is a legend that it was built by Goricho, a Jain worshiper, in 300 AD. At the center of Nangarparkar city stands another Jain temple. Near the temple ‘Gori Jo Mandar’ Kasbo village is also a picnic site. Here, peacocks and peahens make the atmosphere pleasant.
