Its name is Sahstrabahu but its sas bahu twin temples in Gwalior fort itself. Its ticket is the combined ticket with gwalior fort only . At the entrance of the Mansingh palace you can take a ticket of Rs. 25/- each which includes ticket of teli ka mandir and sas bahu temple. It's a good place to visit.
Really beautiful temples! Since they are inside the perimeter of Gwalior Fort, we expected a different type of architecture. They are composed of many statues carved into stone. The buildings are small, but definitely worth the visit. You can buy the ticket for these temples, Teli Temple and Man Mandir palace online (250 INR for foreigners). The visit of the Twin Temples takes about 20-30 minutes.
The Sahastrabahu Temple, also known as the Sas-Bahu Temple, is a must-see for anyone visiting Gwalior Fort. This 11th-century temple complex is a stunning example of Hindu architecture, with intricate carvings and elaborate pillars.

The larger temple is known as the "Sas" temple, while the smaller temple is called the "Bahu" temple. But the has no idol of God Vishnu for worship. The temple is located within the Gwalior Fort complex, which offers panoramic views of the city. The temple is open to visitors from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily. Overall, the Sahastrabahu Temple is a beautiful and historically significant monument. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Indian architecture and history.
It's both awe-inspiring and deeply saddening to reflect on this. What remains today—perhaps just 0.2 to 0.5% of the original heritage—is a mere fragment of what once flourished in Madhya Pradesh. Centuries of relentless destruction during the Islamic invasions led to the obliteration of countless temples and artworks. Over the past 1,000 years, nearly 99% of this rich cultural legacy has been lost. Tragically, the little that remains now faces neglect, apathy, and even destruction at the hands of our own people, compounded by the absence of effective government intervention.
