{{Main|Trinetreshwar Temple}}<br />
Tarnetar is widely known for Trinetreshwar Temple, and the fair held here. It is believed that the temple belongs to the Solanki Era. The Pratihara kings, predominantly the worshipers of Lord Shiva were great builders and architecturally brilliant. They were ardent patrons of art and sculpture. The Trinetreshwar temple is an ornate and evolved example of its time portraying the Gurjjar Pratihar style. Owing to the reign of the Pratihar kings, the regions were later called as the Panchal region.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Tarnetar :: Trineteshwar Mahadev Fair Surendranagar, Than , Chotila, Gujarat|url=http://www.tarnetar.com/history.htm|website=www.tarnetar.com|access-date=2020-05-10}}</ref> The temple was later reconstructed without changing its architectural beauty by the King of Lakthar, Karansinghji in memory of his son.<br />

The Tarnetar temple is surrounded by three Kunds : the Vishnu Kund, the Bhrahma Kund and the Shiv Kund - south of which a cellar is built. It is popularly believed that a dip in its waters is as holy as a dip in the sacred River Ganges.<br />
