'''Sikra''' is a village in [[Bhachau]] Taluka of [[Kutch district]] of [[Gujarat]], India.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Sikra was once been a large and flourishing town. The chief remains are those of a temple of Mahadev Kageshvar, where, according to the story, Dharan Vaghelo, the great grandfather of Lakha Phulani, used to come every day to worship. The ruins are overgrown with trees. A little to the south of the village, once it is said the heart of the city, is a saint's shrine, and two strong and well built Momna Kanbi tombs built in 1666 ([[Samvat]] 1723). Near the shrine is a Jain temple of solid masonry built in 1716 (Samvat 1773) and dedicated to [[Vasupujya]]. The marble image of Vasupujya, when in 1785 (Samvat 1842) threatened by the [[Miyana (community)|Miyana]]s, was taken to [[Adhoi]]. Near the temple are many memorial stones, one of them bearing as old a date as 1003 (Samvat 1060).<ref name="gbp">{{cite book|title=Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency: Cutch, Palanpur, and Mahi Kantha|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dLUBAAAAYAAJ|year=1880|publisher=Printed at the Government Central Press|page=250-251}}</ref><br />
