This temple is dedicated to the Lord Vishnu's thousand arm manifestation. Built over 500 years ago. I was deeply saddened to learn that all the Idols in the temple were desecrated by mughals. No pooja is performed here. It's a monument reminding us of the loot and plunder of muslim ivaders and the turn cloak Indian kings who bowed before the ivaders. There's a valuable lesson to be learnt from this once great monument.

A set of two temples: the larger one dedicated to Shri Vishnu (sahasrabahu: 1000 hands) and the smaller to Lord Shiva. Gorgeous architecture and very photogenic. From Gwalior fort you can take an e-auto to this place

Lovely temple situated within gwalior fort. Also known as saas bahu Temple this was commissioned by Raja Ratan pal but completed by Raja Mahi pal. This complex houses 2 beautiful temples.

“I travel because I become uncomfortable being too comfortable.” Exploring Madhya Pradesh......At Gwalior......at sas Bahu temple.... Sas Bahu Temple, one of the historical and religious monuments, is a tourist attraction in Gwalior . Sas-Bahu Temple, a set of two temples, is an architectural gem and located to the south of Man Mandir Palace. Originally known as Shahastra Bahu Temple, it is a temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, built by the Kachhwaha king Mahipal in the early 11th century. It is probably the most ancient temple within the fort complex. The Sahastrabahu Temple or Sas Bahu Temple, astounding example of medieval Hindu sculpture, is remarkable for the profusion of sculptured columns and labyrinths of carved pilasters which decorate the larger of the sister structures. The edifices are dedicated to Lord Vishnu and situated within the porch area. The larger section of Sas Bahu Temple bears a long Sanskrit inscription, stating that it was completed by a Rajput prince of Gwalior in 1098 AD. These temples are rated among the beautiful monuments of India. It is an architectural marvel, with pillars decorated with sculptures and wall figures. The place is well preserved and attracts many tourists. The interior is remarkably well-lighted for a Hindu sanctuary and it is possible to obtain a good view of the gorgeous ceiling and its intricate carving without having recourse to artificial illumination. The fortress of Gwalior proves to be a place of royal power as well as religious worship. On the opposite side of the palace are several ancient shrines, including Sas Bahu Temple. The larger shrine dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Sahastrbahu form- thousands arms/ hands form) built for Sas (Mother in Law), the queen of Kachhwaha king Mahipal, as she was devotee of Lord Vishnu. They were originally devoted to the god Vishnu. The second shrine, called Bahu (daughter-in-law) Temple, is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Very elegant architecture is reminiscent of glorious Indian past. The pyramidal roof of the Sas Bahu Temple, called ‘shikhar’, is very beautiful and an architectural poetry in stone. Its roofs are circular and shaped like a lotus. The ceiling is supported by octagonal pillars. The temple is 32 meter long and 22 meters wide and has three gateways facing three different directions and there is a ‘mandapam’ in the forth direction. The barbaric Muslim invaders tried to destroy these temples but it could withstand it.

One of the main attractions of gwalior city. Present near the Gwalior Fort, so one can visit in a single go. An ancient temple , that is not active anymore but still gives divine vibes. The temple will remind you of the rich architectural heritage that India has. The place is calm & not many people visit it that often so it is free of fuss.

It was a wonderful space to visit. It covers a huge area and is a perfect place to relax and see the beautiful carvings on the walls. The work done is astonishing and the place is part of the Gwalior fort so the ticket is the same as of Gwalior fort. Should visit this place.

One of the temple built inside the fort. Must make a visit to this spot too if you are visiting gwalior fort. Marvelous architecture works can be seen in this temple. Yu will have to spent only around 20 minutes only here. But don't miss it.

Very nice weather of Gwalior accompanied with the eternal beauty of this place make it a perfect combination for tourism. Very fine sculpture with very nice carvings make this an adorable monument. Suggest everyone not to miss this place in any ways. This is really a gem of Gwalior fort.

Saas or Sas Bahu Temple or Sahastrabahu Temple is located to the east of Gwalior fort. This temple was built in 1092 by King Mahipala of the Kachchhapaghata dynasty. It is an example of architectural brilliance. It was named Sahastrabahu, depicting Lord Vishnu with a thousand hands. If you go there and visit the place you must proud about the indian ancient architectural intelligence.

Place is very good in condition and this is the plus point. You can capture a memorable pictures here with various of angles. Very piece full and calm place.

Wonderful temple located inside gwalior fort. It contains two temples, one bigger and one smaller. Amazing architecture. Beautiful carving and sculpture on the roof and walls of the temple. The view of the Gwalior city is stunning from here and during sunset the beauty of this place increases many folds. Mesmerizing experience

Sasbahu Temple, also called the Sas-Bahu Mandir, Sas-Bahu Temples, Sahasrabahu Temple or Harisadanam temple, is an 11th-century twin temple in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India.[2][3] Near the Gwalior Fort and dedicated to Vishnu in his Padmanabha form, like most Hindu and Jain temples in this region, it is mostly in ruins and was badly damaged from numerous invasions and Hindu-Muslim wars in the region.[4] It was built in 1093 by King Mahipala of the Kachchhapaghata dynasty, according to an inscription found in the larger of the twin temple. The twin temples are situated in the Gwalior Fort.[

Sas Bahu Temple. There is an inscription found in the larger Sas temple, from which archaeologist came to know that this Sas-Bahu Temple was originally known as the Sahastrabahu Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The larger Sas temple's Mandapa inscription was deciphered by Alexander Cunnigham, the first Director-General of the Archaeological Survey of India and  father of Indian Archaeology.It is mentioned in the inscription that the temple construction began in 1093 AD during the reign of King  Mahipala of the Kachchhapaghata dynasty by his brother Padmapala. As per our local learned guide Mr. Rijwi, popular folklore  suggests that the Twin temple was built by King Kirti Singh in honor of his mother-in-law and wife, larger temple (Sas) was built for his mother who was a Vishnu devotee , and the small Bahu temple was built for his wife who was a Shiva devotee. The Sas-Bahu Temple, situated in the Gwalior Fort complex, was made from yellow sandstone, is a living example of the  exemplary craftsmanship and architectural beauty and artistic brilliance of the bygone era . At one glance, both the temple looks like Jain temple by seeing the intricate sculptures and ornate pillars of the temple.The main entrance porch of Sas temple has four carved Ruchaka ghatapallava-style pillars that are load-bearing. But by seeing the delicate motifs, on the walls and beautiful curved pillars I understood that every breathtaking sculptures and motifs are telling  the stories of different Hindu epic and mythology like  the Ramayana, Mahabharata, Puranas like Krishna Leela, Sapta Matrika  etc. The delicate artistry, intricate detailing, and masterful craftsmanship leave every visitors mesmerize by the supernatural skill and artistic brilliance of the unknown artists of that bygone era. The temple's architecture blends different Hindu temple styles, including Bhumija, Nagara, and Dravidian. The large temple (Saas or Sas) has three entrances from three main points and a richly carved entrance to Mandapa .In the fourth direction, there is a room which is locked now . At the entrance, there is statue of Garuda , along with idols of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. The entire temple is covered with carvings, of Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Saraswati. So we conclude that the pillar carvings show conglomerations of Vaishnavism, Shaivism and Shakti cults.In the ceiling there are differnt beautiful geographical patterns like square, circle and octagonal patterns where as the inside of the dome having one very nice lotus carving. Smaller bahu or Shiva temple is  one storey replica temple of the Sas temple having almost same architectural design with floral motif and animal bands on the external elevated plinth area. One must visit the twin Sas Bahu temples  to see  the epitome of perfection in miniature . Simultaneously you will feel excruciating pain by seeing that all most all the idol's face have been very badly defaced by the iconoclastic Mughals , but their  perfection of artistic forms on stone  has survived the ravages of time and mindless destruction by the invaders .

Sahastrabahu temple , not sas bahu . Architectural marvel. Must visit

Beautifull place

A very good place for clicking photos and spending good peaceful time with your close ones.

(Translated by Google) The Sas-Bahu temple located to the east of Gwalior Fort is as beautiful to see as its saga is equally amazing. The story behind the construction of the temple began in the year 1092 AD. It is said that seeing this temple is like seeing the Gods of heaven directly. Vishnu and daughter-in-law built Shiva's temple by mother-in-law In the eleventh century, Gwalior was ruled by King Mahipal of the Kachhwaha dynasty. His wife was an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu. According to the will of the queen, King Mahipala built the temple of Lord Vishnu, which is named Sahastrabahu Temple. After some time the queen's son got married and his daughter-in-law was a devotee of Lord Shiva. Due to the influence of her daughter-in-law, the queen also built a temple of Lord Shiva near the temple. The two temples came to be known jointly as the Sahastrabahu Temple. Later, this Sahastrabahu temple became a mother-in-law temple due to disrespect. According to another legend, the temple was named Saas-Bahu Temple after the queen (mother-in-law) and her daughter-in-law (daughter-in-law). The temple is decorated with carved decoration The Saas-Bahu temple is 32 meters long and 22 meters wide. There are doors in three directions for entering the temple while in the fourth direction there is a door which is currently closed. Carved figures have been carved on the walls, pillars and roof of the temple, which captivates the mind. Apart from this, seeing the city of Gwalior from the roof of the temple also gives a special experience in itself. Many people come to the temple to witness this experience. (Original) ग्वालियर किले के पूर्व में स्थित सास-बहू मंदिर देखने में जितना सुंदर है इसकी गाथा भी उतनी ही अद्भुत है। मंदिर के बनने के पीछे की कहानी वर्ष 1092 ईस्वी में शुरू हुई थी। कहा जाता है कि इस मंदिर को देखना स्वर्ग के देवी-देवताओं का प्रत्यक्ष दर्शन करने जैसा ही है। सास ने विष्णु तथा बहू ने शिव का मंदिर बनवाया था ग्यारहवीं सदी में ग्वालियर में कच्छवाहा वंश के राजा महिपाल का शासन था। उनकी पत्नी भगवान विष्णु की परम भक्त थी। रानी की इच्छानुसार राजा महिपाल ने भगवान विष्णु का मंदिर बनवाया जिसका नाम सहस्त्रबाहु मंदिर रखा गया। कुछ समय बाद रानी के पुत्र की शादी हुई और उनकी पुत्रवधू भगवान शिव की भक्त थी। अपनी पुत्रवधू के प्रभाव से रानी ने मंदिर के पास ही भगवान शिव का भी मंदिर बनवाया। दोनों मंदिरों को संयुक्त रूप से सहस्त्रबाहु मंदिर कहा जाने लगा। कालान्तर में यही सहस्त्रबाहु मंदिर अपभ्रंश होकर सास-बहू मंदिर हो गया। एक अन्य किंवदंती के अनुसार रानी (सास) और उनकी पुत्रवधू (बहू) के नाम पर मंदिर का नाम सास-बहू मंदिर पड़ा। नक्काशीदार संजावट से सजा है मंदिर सास-बहू मंदिर 32 मीटर लंबा तथा 22 मीटर चौड़ा है। मंदिर में प्रवेश के लिए तीन दिशाओं में दरवाजे हैं जबकि चौथी दिशा में एक दरवाजा बना हुआ है जो वर्तमान में बंद है। मंदिर की दीवारों, खंबों तथा छत पर नक्काशीदार आकृतियां बनाई गई हैं जो देखते ही मन मोह लेती है। इसके अलावा मंदिर की छत से ग्वालियर शहर को देखना भी अपने आप में एक खास अनुभव देता है। इस अनुभव को देखने के लिए बहुत से लोग मंदिर में आते हैं।

These two temples are so beautiful that one one can keep staring for hours. Temple seems to be vandalised by Muslims in past who defaced the idols and shikhar of it. There is no murti in the main sanctum sanctorum left. Yet, it's a great place to be.

Very unique architecture and design. Loved it.😍😍

You are allowed to visit till 1st floor of temple. Parking is Free at this place. Ticket of Gwalior fort INR 20, will work here. You don't have to buy new ticket.

Had to argue with the guard for a few mins as they were closing but since I travelled from so far away he agreed to let us in for 5 mins. It was very eerie but I wish I could have stayed for a bit longer.

Beautiful architecture Hindu temple Clean public toilet nearby Well maintained Amazing around

Sahastra Bahu temple commonly know as Sas Bahu temple is twin temples in Gwalior fort complex. These are no temples dedicated to glorify the saas (mother-in-law) and bahu (daughter-in-law). Rather, a certain king Mahipala of Kachchhwaha Dynasty got them constructed sometime in the 10th or 11th century A.D. It is a commonly held belief that the queen of Mahipala was a devotee of Lord Vishnu. The king was kind enough to get a temple made for his beloved spouse, wherein she could worship her favoured deity. Later, the prince got himself a wife, who was a worshipper of Lord Shiva. Therefore, another temple of Lord Shiva was built right next to the Vishnu shrine for the daughter-in-law. Because the temple of Lord Vishnu was constructed first, it was named Sahastrabahu Temple, meaning ‘the one having a thousand arms’, a synonym for Lord Vishnu. However, afterwards, the twin temples were collectively called Sahastrabahu Temple. As time passed, the name got corrupted, and the temple became popular as Saas-Bahu Temple due to the reason of its origin. Apparently, the Saas temple is comparatively larger than the other shrine.

Such two beautiful temples are located inside the Gwalior Fort. Sas temple is big in size & bahu temple is in small size. Both have amazing architecture, carvings & sculptures. Bahu temple has oldest type of chess inside. Top view is amazing. Right place for the photography & hangout. Peaceful & divine place.

Good Temple

Beautiful karigari on both of these temple. The temples are empty and there's a great story behind this temple which you will know when you visit. The view from bahu temple is so beautiful. You can see whole gwalior from there.

Beautiful architecture and well maintained

Saas or saas bahu mandir or sahastrabahu temple is located to the east of gwalior fort... This temple was built in 1992 by king 👑mahipala of the kachchhapaghata dynasty.... It is an example of architecture brilliance.... It was named sahastrabahu, depicting Lord vishnu with a thousand hands ✋. .. Kachchhapaghata's King's wife used to worship Lord vishnu but when her son got married his wife worshipped Lord shiva... Thus another temple was built where the King's son's wife offered homage to Lord shiva. .. Hence the name saas bahu temple , which means the mother in law and daughter in law temple.

Saas Bahu / Sahastrabahu Temple is a pair of two temples inside Gwalior Fort premises. The temples are beautifully carved out of rock and built on high pavilions. Currently there is no deity. But this place is a must visit for anyone going to Gwalior.

First of all, Sahasrabahu Temple is often called as SaaS Bahu Temple so don't get confused. This Temple belongs to Lord Vishnu (so sahasrha bahu). It was built around 11th Cent AD. The architecture of the temples is marvelous and created with thoughtfulness. You can spend quality time with your family and with yourself too. The view from this Temple is very enigmatic. You need not to have separate ticket to visit this Temple. If you are at the top then don't forget to visit this.

Place is Good but some idiots make it dirty. Officials has to take more care of it.

The Sas Bahu Temple is a hidden gem in Gwalior. It's not as popular as some of the other temples in the city, but it's definitely worth a visit. The architecture is amazing and the sculptures are beautiful

My next destination took me about 7 minutes from the Gurdwara. There were patches of road that were not in good condition but definitely motorable. There are no parking bays present and thus tourists can park on the side of the road as there are ample spaces around. The recommended duration would be 30 minutes The Saas-Bahu temple, built in the ninth century, attracts both visitors and believers. This temple was previously known as the Sahastrabahu Temple, after Lord Vishnu, who possesses numerous hands. It became known as Saas Bahu Temple as a result of increasing mispronunciation throughout time. Saas Bahu Temple does not represent Saas (mother-in-law) and bahu (daughter-in-law) but is a short version of Shastra Bahu, another name for Lord Vishnu. This temple was built during King Mahipala of the Kacchapaghata Dynasty, who asked the Lord of the Universe for a happy and flourishing kingdom. These two temples are close to one other and beautifully ornamented with carvings and sculptures.

Good place

Unique temple The temple is unique and attractive. This temple was constructed by Kachchhwaha King Mahipala.The temple is 32 meters long and 22 meters wide.This magnificent temple has explicitly carved idols of Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva at the doorway.

Beautiful temples in eastern area of Gwalior Fort. The two temples are dedicated to Lord Vishnu & are of 11th century. Erroneously called Sas Bahu temples. Carvings & statues are beautiful & so is the architectural design. Lot of structure has been defiled or worn out. Nevertheless beaut must be seen to be believed. There is no separate entry ticket. Ticket of Fort is valid here. Hot noon should be avoided.

This is a fascinating piece of architecture. There is no idol here currently hence it is very serene and calm. You could sit here all day and enjoy the view of Gwalior city. It is a set of two temples one is smaller compared to the other.

Nice place to visit .... Love the architect old and heritage... Maintained good ... Loved it

Saas bahu temple as commonly called was actually named "Sahastrabahu temple". Close to Gwalior fort, is beautifully built. The entire temple is covered with carvings, notably 4 idols of Brahma, Vishnu and Saraswati above its entrance door.

Super view from here to Gwalior.

It is a beautiful temple whose real name is Sahastrabahu temple dedicated to lord Vishnu

Stunning beauty, one can see the whole gwalior from this place.

The Sas-Bahu Temple is located in the eastern side of Gwalior Fort. The irony lies in the fact that as the name suggests it is not the temple of sas (mother-in-law) and bahu (daughter-in-law). The name emerged out of ‘sastrabahu’ which is another name of Lord Vishnu. The Sas-Bahu Temple is dedicated to one incarnation of Lord Vishnu. It has carvings of Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Godess Saraswathi on its door. There are two temple structures; one is small and the other is big. The temple is made of red sandstone with beautiful carvings of lotus. It has a pyramidal structure without any arches. It was built by King Mahipala of the Kachwaha dynasty in the 11th century. #SaasBahuTemple

Sas-Bahu Temples, Sahasrabahu Temple or Harisadanam temple, is an 11th-century twin temple in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India. Near the Gwalior Fort and dedicated to Vishnu in his Padmanabha form, like most Hindu and Jain temples in this region, it is mostly in ruins and was badly damaged from numerous invasions and Hindu-Muslim wars in the region. It was built in 1093 by King Mahipala of the Kachchhapaghata dynasty, according to an inscription found in the larger of the twin temple. The twin temples are situated in the Gwalior Fort.

Simply a breathtaking spot, temples were originally dedicated to Vishnu and Shiva. This spot is located on the edge of Gwalior Fort offering a breathtaking view of the city below. Also, a car can take you right up to this spot and is generally a very peaceful spot especially in the early morning. Most sculptures were destroyed in the Middle Ages but you can still make out the amazing skills involved by the stonemasons of that time.
