Summary edit

Description

Sas Bahu Temple, Eklingji, India

Records reveal that along with Jainism, Vaishnavism and Shaivism received royal Patronage under the then ruling Guhila dynasty of Mewar. The Vishnu Temple, built by Yasomati, wife of the commander in chief of the Mewar rulers, was destroyed, but what remains are two beautiful Temples - SAS BAHU - dedicated to Lord Vishnu.

Nagda temple, also called Sas Bahu or Sahastra Bahu temples of Udaipur are located about 20 kilometers from Udaipur. These ruins have been partly restored after destruction of temple complexes by Mughal Empire in their attempts to subdue the Rajputs and Mewar kingdoms. For more information, see Antoinette Elizabeth DeNapoli, Real Sadhus Sing to God, Oxford University Press, pages 167-169.

Made of Granite, the carvings and deep inlaid work are remarkable and even today have withstood the passage of time and the vagaries of weather.
