Its architectural style is distinctively Indo-Aryan as it has been raised on a tall terrace and has a double story mandap (pavilion) which is connected to a double story sanctum. The fact that many lanes that start from the old city walls converge at this temple makes it apparent that the Jagdish Temple has held a position of significance for the residents of Udaipur from the very beginning.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eklingji_Temple\"><\/span><strong>Eklingji Temple<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A me<a class=\"highslide\" href=\"http:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Eklingji-Temple.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2188 size-thumbnail\" title=\"Eklingji Temple\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Eklingji-Temple-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Eklingji Temple, temple of udaipur\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Eklingji-Temple-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Eklingji-Temple-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Eklingji-Temple-115x115.jpg 115w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>re 22 kilometres from the city of Udaipur on National Highway No. 8, the temple is located in the town of Eklingji or Kailashpurji.

The idol was originally worshipped in Mathura but was moved to many places before landing up here in order to save it from the intolerant hands of Aurungzeb. Legend has it that when priests were on the run with the idol, the bullock cart carrying it sank ankle deep in mud and could not be moved further no matter what.
