The Gop temple is a Sun temple located at Zinavari village in Jamjodhpur Taluka of Jamnagar district, Gujarat, India. The Hindu temple is dated about late 6th century or early 7th century, one of the earliest surviving stone temples in Gujarat. The original temple had a square plan, a mandapa and covered circumambulation passage which are lost, and a pyramidal masonry roof which is ruined but whose partial remains have survived. The temple has a height of 23 feet (7.0 m) which includes a small tower. The tower is decorated with arch-like windows (torana) and an cogged wheel-shaped crown amalaka.
