The temple of Gumasta: (Lord Sambhavnath - 19 inches)
In the porch behind the temple of Vastupal – Tejpal, is the temple by the name of Gumasta which has Lord Sambhavnath as its main idol. Since it has been built in the name of Vastupal’s mother Kumardevi, by Gulabshah from the region of Kutch-Mandvi, the temple is known as that of Vastupal’s mother as well as Gulabshah’s temple. (It appears that with the passage of time, the word Gulabshah got mispronounced and eventually got referred to as Gumasta.)
