Sas-Bahu Temple

Sas-Bahu Temple is a 9th-century temple located in the city of Gwalior, in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. The temple is known for its intricate carvings and architecture, which is a blend of Hindu and Jain styles. The name Sas-Bahu, which literally means mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, is a misnomer, as the temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and not to any mother-in-law or daughter-in-law deities. The Sas-Bahu Temple complex comprises two temples, one smaller and one larger, both dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The larger temple, which is believed to have been built in the 9th century, is known for its exquisite carvings and sculptures. The temple is adorned with intricate carvings of gods, goddesses, animals, and mythical creatures. The smaller temple, which is believed to have been built in the 11th century, is also adorned with similar carvings and sculptures.
