First of the twelve Jyotirlingas, on the Saurashtra shore. Founded in stone by the 10th century, celebrated by Al-Biruni as the harbour-temple of the Indian Ocean trade, razed by Mahmud of Ghazni in 1026, rebuilt by Kumarapala — and raised again by the new Republic in 1951. The shrine eternal of Indian memory, told through period photographs and the raider's own chroniclers.
On this day
12 June
1665 — The Treaty of Purandar concluded (signed 11–12 June): Shivaji cedes twenty-three forts to Mirza Raja Jai Singh — and lives to take every one of them back.

Not "the Sultanate period" and "the Mughal period" — the same centuries arranged by the answer India gave. Four ages, one unbroken thread from the first Arab sail off Thana (636) to Panipat (1761): every ledger complete, every battle marked victory or defeat with what it meant for the India of that time, every source labelled — stone, chronicle, or tradition.
Quote of the day
"In all their grandeur, they never slackened in the ardent desire of doing that which is good and right… men of noble sentiment and noble bearing."
