The Vishnu Temple , built by Yasomati in 10th century , located at Udaipur, Rajasthan, wife of the commander in chief of the Mewar rulers, was destroyed, but what remains are two beautiful Temples - SAS (mother-in-law ) BAHU (daughter-in-law ) - dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Sas-Bahu is the name traditionally given to two adjoining temples of different sizes.The larger of the two is profusely sculpted with graceful figures and intricate patterns. This is apparent in the interior where, above the sculpted walls and pillars, an elaborately carved lotus adorns the roof, the carvings and deep inlaid work are remarkable and even today have withstood the passage of time and the vagaries of weather. |
