Eklingji
is located at a distance of around 22 km from Udaipur. This
small pilgrimage town is set in a deep ravine that contains
Eklingji Lake. The white - marble temple of Eklinga has a
two-storey mandapa to Lord Shiva. This was the royal temple
of Mewars, as Lord Shiva is their family deity. The temple
was first built in 734 AD and was rebuilt again in the 15th
century.
The temple is known for its silver door and screen and there
is a Nandi built of silver that faces the black marble statue
of Lord Shiva.
