About Siddhpur :-

The Note from the Government of Gujarat gives no information about the historical or religious importance of Siddhpur. The Report of the Minorities Commission says that Siddhpur is a historical city and that it was ruled successively by Hindu Rajas and Muslim Sultans. There is no reference to the religious importance of Siddhpur as a place of Hindu pilgrimage. The article by B.L. Nagarch brings out that point when it says that as the obsequies offerings to the paternal ancestors must be made at Gaya, so corresponding offerings to the maternal ancestors have to be performed at Siddhpur. Nagarch tells us also that the ancient name of Siddhpur appears to have been Sristhala or Sristhalaka and that the name of Siddhpur was given to this place in honor of Siddharaja Jayasimha who completed the Temple of Rudra-Mahadev in the twelfth century here.

The Puranas regard Sristhala as the most sacred spot in the Sarasvata-mandal of Gujarat. The Bhagvata Purana associates it with Kardama rishi, who had his hermitage here, and also with Kapil muni who was born in this place on the bank of the sacred Saraswati River. It was also known as Vindusara. It is said that anahillapataka or anahillapattana, the capital of medieval Gujarat before Ahmadabad came up in the first quarter of the fifteenth century, was founded where it was because of its nearness to Sristhala.

Anahillapattana, now known as Patan, was built in AD 745 by Vanaraja, the founder of the Chavotkata or Chapa or Chavda dynasty. It reached its greatest glory, however, in the reign of Jayasimha (AD 1094-1143), the most illustrious ruler of the Chaulukya or Solanki dynasty of Gujarat. Jayasimha was very much devoted to Sristhala and visited it often in order to keep the company of sages and saints living at this place. There is a popular legend that Jayasimha defeated and captured Barbara, a demon who was molesting the holy men at Sristhala. Barbara, we are told, became his obedient servant and performed many superhuman deeds for him. That is how Jayasimha earned the sobriquet of Siddharaja. He built at Sristhala a temple dedicated to Rudra Mahakala which became known as Rudramahalaya or simply Rudramala. Because of its close association with Siddharaja, Sristhala became known as Siddhapura which name was corrupted to Siddhpur in course of time.
