Saas Bahu Temple

The Sas-Bahu Temple is located in the eastern side of Gwalior Fort. The irony lies in the fact that as the name suggests it is not the temple of sas (mother-in-law) and bahu (daughter-in-law). The name emerged out of ‘sastrabahu’ which is another name of Lord Vishnu. The Sas-Bahu Temple is dedicated to one incarnation of Lord Vishnu.

It has carvings of Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Godess Saraswathi on its door. There are two temple structures; one is small and the other is big. The temple is made of red sandstone with beautiful carvings of lotus. It has a pyramidal structure without any arches. It was built by King Mahipala of the Kachwaha dynasty in the 11th century.
