Sas Bahu Temple Nagda

The temple is primarily dedicated to Lord Vishnu, with additional shrines for Lord Brahma, Goddess Saraswati, Lord Shiva, Parvati, and Lord Ganesha, making it a significant pilgrimage site for devotees seeking darshan of multiple deities.

The temple is believed to have been built by King Mahipala of the Kachchhapaghata (Kachchhwaha) dynasty, though the precise historical period remains unknown or disputed.

Its intricate stone carvings and detailed architectural features attract not only pilgrims but also history enthusiasts and lovers of ancient Indian art. The temple’s stunning location near Bagela Lake adds to its serene and spiritual atmosphere.

Sas Bahu Temple Nagda welcomes visitors daily from 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM and again from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Free darshan is available, allowing devotees and tourists to explore the temple complex without any entry fee.

To maintain the sanctity of the temple, a modest dress code is required: men should wear full-length trousers or jeans with shirts covering the shoulders, while women are expected to wear traditional attire or conservative western wear that covers shoulders and knees.

The temple comes alive during major Hindu festivals such as Mahashivratri (February/March), Holi and Gangaur (March/April), Janmashtami (August/September), and Diwali and Kartik Poornima (October/November).

These occasions offer a vibrant glimpse into the temple’s spiritual and cultural significance. Reaching Sas Bahu Temple Nagda is convenient. Visitors can arrive in Udaipur via Maharana Pratap Airport (33 km away) or Udaipur City Railway Station (23 km away).
