Eklingji
 

A RELIGIOUS COMPLEX Northern region of Mewar (22 Kms)

It houses 108 temples chiselled out of sandstone and marble,
this temple of Eklingji was built in 734 AD. Enclosed by high walls, it is devoted to Eklingji  (A form of Shiv Deity
adored under the epithet of EKLINGA).

One of the prominent deity of the Maharanas of Mewar, worshiped as Mahadeva Chaumukhi,the quadriform divinity, represented by a bust with four faces.,
it has an ornate Man dap [ A pillared hall ] and the huge pyramidal roof composed of hundreds of knots very vividly carved and finely decorated with the coloured stones. Before the entrance in the main temple there is a beautifully sculpted huge Nandi [ the sacred brazen bull who is the loyal steed of Lord Shiva and has his altar attached to all his shrines.

The temple of EKLINGJI
was constructed roughly in between the Uda- Nath  route, with the hills towering around it and abundant small springs of water where more or less every tourist takes a break. And locals pay homage through out the whole year.The Belief is such.
