About Eklingji Temple
Eklingji Temple was built in the 8th century by Bappa Rawal, the founder of the Mewar Dynasty. Lord Eklingji is a form of Lord Shiva, and it is regarded as the ruling deity of Mewar, and the Maharana of Udaipur traditionally considers himself the deity’s representative rather than the ruler. This unique belief adds to the shrine’s cultural and spiritual importance.
