History & significance

A Shiva temple inside Chittor Fort dated by inscription to the eleventh century and tentatively, though not securely, credited to the Paramara king Bhoja. Its image shows Shiva three-faced and six-armed as the lord of samadhi, and restorations in the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries left the building carrying several sculptural styles at once; inscriptions there record visits and gifts by nobles.
