Sas-Bahu Temple
The Sas Bahu Temple in Gwalior, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, was commissioned by King Mahipala in 1092 AD. Lord Vishnu, also known as Sahastrabahu (“one with many hands”), lent the temple its original name, which over time evolved into “Sas Bahu” due to mispronunciation or interpretation.
Built to seek the prosperity and success of his kingdom, King Mahipala’s temple is an exceptional example of medieval architecture. The complex comprises two temples—one larger and one smaller—symbolically referred to as the “mother-in-law” and “daughter-in-law” temples. Both feature intricately carved walls, graceful figures, and finely crafted pillars, reflecting remarkable artistic and architectural skill.
