History & significance

An 11th-century Varaha temple at Khor named for the decorative arches, ten of them set in two rows, that frame it. Its carving includes leaf-shaped borders and makara heads.

Sthala katha — the traditional account

What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.

A tunnel is said to run from beneath the temple to Chittor Fort, used by Maharana Pratap to come and worship here.
