Sas-Bahu Temple

1093 · 11th century · Also known as Sahastrabahu Temple

The Sas-Bahu Temple is a pair of Hindu temples inside Gwalior Fort in Madhya Pradesh, India, dedicated to Vishnu and completed in 1093 by the Kachchhapaghata king Mahipala. The larger temple, though its tower has collapsed, is richly carved inside and out. The popular name, "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law", derives from Sahastrabahu, a name of Vishnu.
