How To Reach Jagdish Temple

Udaipur, Rajasthan, India
The Jagdish Temple is an architectural and spiritual landmark located right in the heart of Udaipur's old city, just a short walk from the Badi Pol entrance of the City Palace. This colossal and imposing temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, worshipped here as Lord Jagannath, the Lord of the Universe. It was commissioned and built by Maharana Jagat Singh I in 1651 and was originally known as the Temple of Jagannath Rai. Its construction, which reportedly cost approximately 1.5 million rupees at the time, highlights the immense devotion and architectural ambition of the Maharana. The temple stands tall on a raised terrace, accessible via a steep flight of 32 marble steps. The entrance is dramatically guarded by two large stone elephants. The main shrine houses a beautiful four-armed idol of Lord Vishnu, carved from a single piece of black stone, exuding an aura of divinity. The main temple is a three-storey structure built in the exquisite Indo-Aryan architectural style, known as Maru-Gurjara architecture. Surrounding the central shrine, the temple complex also includes four smaller shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha, the Sun God (Surya), and Goddess Shakti, making it a comprehensive religious centre. Despite enduring the ravages of time and some deliberate damage by Mughal invaders, the temple has been meticulously maintained and restored. It remains a vibrant place of worship, attracting thousands of devotees and tourists daily, who come to marvel at its intricate carvings, experience its spiritual ambiance, and appreciate its rich history. The temple's towering Shikhar (spire) dominates the old city's skyline. ###
