Nagda Sahastra Bahu Temples

Nagda Sahastra Bahu Temples (locally called Sas-Bahu — mother-in-law and daughter-in-law) are a pair of 10th-century Vaishnava stone temples at Nagda, about 23 km from Udaipur in Rajasthan. Built by Mewar king Adivaraha in the early 10th century, these twin temples are dedicated to Lord Vishnu as Sahasrabahu (the thousand-armed one).

The larger temple is renowned for its ornate torana (arched gateway) with exquisitely carved bracket figures, celestial maidens, and scenes from the Dashavatar. The smaller temple has a unique plan and beautiful carved panels. Though in ruins, their sculptural detail ranks among the finest of Mewar stone carving, predating many subsequent temples of Rajasthan.
