Itinerary

Udaipur

30 min

Your tour starts with a morning pickup from your hotel in Udaipur, followed by a drive to Eklingji, situated about 20 km from the city.
Shri Ekling Ji Temple

2 hours Admission not included

Upon arrival at Eklingji Temple, spend a few hours exploring the renowned temple complex.

Eklingji Temple is a Hindu temple complex in Kailashpuri, Udaipur, Rajasthan, and is the Kula Devata of the Mewar Dynasty. Originally built by Bappa Rawal in the 8th century, the temple was destroyed by Delhi Sultanate invasions. In the 14th century, Hamir Singh renovated the temple and installed the first extant idol. Rana Kumbha rebuilt it in the 15th century, adding a Vishnu temple. After an attack by Ghiyath Shah in the late 15th century, Rana Raimal reconstructed the temple using the ransom from Ghiyath Shah. Initially belonging to the Pashupata sect, it later came under the control of the Nath sect in the 16th century.

After the completion of your Eklingji tour, you will proceed to Nagda.
Sahastra Bahu Temples

2 hours

The Sahasra Bahu Temples (also called Sasbahu Temples) in Nagda, Rajasthan, are a pair of 10th-century Hindu temples dedicated to Virabhadra. They share a platform, with the larger temple surrounded by ten subsidiary shrines and the smaller by four. The temples display Māru-Gurjara architecture, with a sanctuary, mandapa, open porch, and brick shikharas. While much of the exterior is plain, the interiors and porches are lavishly carved. The smaller temple has a restored shikhara, while the larger remains truncated.

The temples are locally known as Sas Bahu, a corruption of Sahasra-Bahu (meaning "One with thousand arms," a form of Vishnu). Nagda was once an important city of Mewar, possibly a capital. In 1226, Iltutmish destroyed Nagda.

Nearby is the Adbhutji Shanthinath Jain Tirth or Nagahyuda Jain Mandir, an ancient Jain center. The temples are listed as heritage monuments by the Archaeological Survey of India.
