Sas-Bahu temple - architectural marvel at Gwalior fort, Madhya Pradesh

Sas-Bahu ka mandir, or Sahastrabahu Temple, is located to the east of Gwalior Fort. Built in 1092 by King Mahipala of the Kachchhapaghata (Kachchhwaha) dynasty, this temple is one of the greatest architectural marvels situated by Gwalior Fort. It is 32 metres long and 22 metres at its breadth. This temple mainly has three entrances from three different directions. In the fourth direction, there is a room which is currently closed. The entire temple is covered with carvings, notably 4 idols of Bramha, Vishnu and Saraswati above its entrance door.However, limestone erodes over time, and soon portions of the limestone fell, later spurring conflict as to whether it was a Jain temple or a Hindu temple. Then, Captain H. Kolar and Major J.B. Kint completely removed the limestone and restored the temple completely. It was named SahastraBahu, depicting a man with a thousand hands or Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu was worshiped by the wife of the Kachchhapaghata's king, but when his son's wife came, she became a devotee of Lord Shiva. Thus, another temple beside Vishnu temple was built, where Lord Shiva was worshiped by the wife of the king's son. Collectively, these two temples were named 'Sas-Bahu temple', meaning the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law's temple. Overlooking the Gwalior Town of Madhya Pradesh is the magnificent Gwalior Fort sitting on top of a Hillock. It is built over a massive sandstone rock across a narrow, precipitous hill called Gopachal. Amazed by its beauty, the Late Mughal Emperor Babur described Gwalior Fort as "The pearl in the necklace of the forts of Hind". This fortress is one of the biggest in India and it houses 4 Jain shrines, seven Hindu temples, various monuments and palaces such as the Man Mandir palace, the Gujari Mahal, the Jahangir Mahal, the Karan Palace and the Shahjahan Mahal. It has two entrances, the one on the North East is the main gate called 'Hathi Pul' accessible after passing through six smaller gates and the other on the South West is called Badalgarh Gate.
