This 8th century Temple is located in Udaipur. This Temple complex was claimed to be built with 108 temples, surrounded by high walls. Today, a couple of temples stand proud. The primary temple of the complex is Shiva Temple. The original temple was built by Bappa Rawal (creator of the Mewar Empire) in the 8th century. In the 15th century, Rana Kumbha rebuilt the temple while creating a temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The Temple also impresses visitors with its magnificent style.
