Eklingji Temple, Udaipur Overview
Eklingji Temple is dedicated to Shiva in his Eklingji form and has served as the presiding deity of the Mewar dynasty for centuries, with the ruling Maharana traditionally regarded as a regent of the deity. The complex holds over a hundred temples within its walls, built mostly in black marble, though the main shrine sees the heaviest footfall. It's usually visited together with Nagda's Sas Bahu temples nearby, since both sit along the same road out of the city.
Established in 734 A.D. by Bappa Rawal, Eklingji is purported to have been the ruling idol of Mewar rulers. On entering this hall, you would see a beautiful silver image of Nandi and inside the temple, there are two other images of Nandi carved in black stone and brass respectively. This temple is filled with an enthralling fragrance and is known for a striking four-faced idol of Eklingji (Lord Shiva) that is made out of black marble. Its height ranges around 50 feet and its four faces depict four forms of Lord Shiva. The Shivlinga garlanded by a silver snake is a major tourist attraction.
