Eklingji Temple, located about 22 kilometers from Udaipur in Rajasthan, is one of the most revered temples in the state. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this magnificent temple is a prime pilgrimage site and a fine example of ancient Hindu architecture.

The temple was originally built in the 8th century by Bappa Rawal, the founder of the Mewar dynasty. Over the centuries, it has undergone several renovations and reconstructions, with the current structure dating back to the 15th century. The temple complex houses 108 shrines, all intricately carved, and is surrounded by high walls. The main shrine features a four-faced idol of Lord Shiva, known as Eklingji, made of black marble. Each face of the deity represents a different form of Shiva: Sadashiva, Maheshwar, Vishnu, and Brahma.
