Sas-Bahu Temples
सास-बहू मंदिर
Two Vishnu temples, one large and one small, built by the Kachchhapaghata dynasty in 1093. Their pillared halls and ceilings are richly carved.
The Sas-Bahu Temples were originally called the Sahasrabahu Temple, dedicated to the thousand-armed Vishnu. King Mahipala of the Kachchhapaghata dynasty built it in 1093. Later, it became popularly known as the “Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law” temples. The larger temple has lost its spire, but its three-tiered pillared hall remains intact, and its stone pillars and ceilings are covered with floral motifs, deities and dancer reliefs. The smaller temple beside it is delicate and elegant. The temples sit on the eastern edge of the fort, overlooking the old city, and are about a 15-minute walk from Man Singh Palace.
