Samadhishwara Temple, Chittorgarh, Rajasthan Chittorgarh fort in Rajasthan is one of the oldest living forts in India. It us the fort that has so many stories of courage, sacrifice & devotion. We know as much about the queens of this fort as we do about the kings who ruled from here. Chittorgarh fort is full of temples - big & small, defunct & practising, Samadhishwara temple, standing on the base of an inverted lotus is one of the oldest temples in the fort. It has a giant face of Shiva with 3 heads. I saw a similar sculpture in wood at a museum in the fort. Walls inside the sanctum are carved and their age shows. Nandi here looks almost a miniature here. On the outside walls the whole lifecycle of a human life is carved. Gomukh pond stands next to the temple. You get a great view of the surrounding areas from here. . Presiding Deity - Shiva as Samadhishwara . Built by - Mewar Kings of Chittor .
