| Sas Bahu Temple, Udaipur
| |
| The Sas Bahu Temple at Udaipur in the state of Rajasthan is a set of two temples that are situated side by side. These temples are dedicated to Lord Vishnu of the Hindu religion. Due to the close association of the temples, they are known by the name of Sas Bahu Ka Mandir. Probably in the 10th century, the great Kachwah King Mahapala built the temples.
Earlier, there was a temple of Lord Vishnu constructed by Yasomati, the wife of commander in chief of the Mewar Ruler. It was destroyed. Visitors of the temple are of the notion that the temples are in the name of the mother in law and the daughter in law of a family. But ones they visit the temples they will find that the name has been given for their close attachment.
Perhaps these two temples are the most ancient of the structures of Udaipur. Intricate designs and beautiful figures decorate the temples. Carved pillars and decorated walls are to be seen in the interior of the temples. A lotus is seen adorning the roof of the temple.
