Eklingji Temple: The Eternal Ruler of Mewar
Discover the spiritual heart of the Mewar kingdom at the sacred Eklingji Temple. Located just 22 km from Udaipur in the quaint town of Kailashpuri, this ancient temple complex is more than just a place of worship—it’s a living symbol of the Mewar royal family’s devotion and a stunning example of medieval Indian architecture.
Architectural and Spiritual Marvel
The sprawling, high-walled complex houses 108 temples and showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of the 8th to 15th centuries.
| Main Idol | A striking four-faced black marble idol of Eklingji (Lord Shiva) in the main temple. The four faces are said to represent the four forms of the Lord: Surya (East), Brahma (West), Vishnu (North), and Rudra/Shiva (South). |
| Architecture | Built primarily with marble and sandstone, the main shrine is a double-storied structure with a colossal pyramidal roof and exquisitely carved columns, displaying the Maru-Gurjara architectural style. |
| Temple Complex | Within the compound walls, you will find several smaller temples dedicated to various deities like Goddess Parvati, Lord Ganesha, and Lord Kartikeya, alongside two sacred water tanks, Karz Kund and Tulsi Kund. |
| Nandi Shrine | A beautiful silver image of Nandi (Lord Shiva’s Bull) greets visitors at the entrance to the main mandap (pillared hall). |
