History

The Sas-Bahu (Sahastrabahu) temples at Nagda near Udaipur are 10th-century Vishnu shrines with extraordinarily fine carving beside a lake. They were royal temples of the Guhila line, now quiet heritage-and-darshan stops.

Legends

• Sahasrabahu (thousand-armed) Arjuna or Vishnu is the name behind ‘sas-bahu’ in folk etymology — mother-in-law and daughter-in-law temples standing as a pair.
