in the village itself was originally built in 734, although its present form
dates from the rule of Maharana Raimal between 1473 and 1509. The walled complex
includes an elaborately pillared hall under a large pyramidal roof and features
a four- faced Siva image of black marble. The temple is open at rather odd hours-5
to 7 am, 10 am to 1 pm and 5 to 7 pm.
At Nagada, about a km off the road and a km before Eklingi, are three old temples.
The Jain temple of Adbudji is essentially ruined, but its architecture is interesting
and it's very old. The nearby Sas Bahu, or Mother and Daughter-in-Law, group
has very fine and intricate architecture and carvings, including some erotic
figures. You can reach these temples most conveniently by hiring a bicycle in
Eklingi itself. Continue drive and arrive Udaipur and after hotel check-in,

the island palaces from the shore. Fortunately, this doesn't happen often. The
City Palace extends a considerable distance along the east bank of the lake.

palace, you can wander along the lake, where there are some interesting bathing
and dhobi (laundry) ghats.
