| The Saas-Bahu temple in Nagda, 25 kms from Udaipur, is dedicated to mother-in-law and daughter-in-law (Lakshmi and Saraswathi) . It was built in 10th century by Yashomati and the main deity is Vishnu. It has intricate architecture and carvings, which includes a carved porch of the Sas Temple and a carved torana (archway) of the Bahu Temple. The Sas (mother in law) temple is much larger than the temple of Bahu (daughter in law) and has a torana (archway) in the front. It is said that the image of the Lord was swung from the torana accompanied by hymns on ceremonial occasions. They have been raised on a common terrace to face east towards the tank. The entrance to the temples is through a doorway with carved lintels and a multi-lobed arch at the centre. |
