Vedi
Temple
Kumbhalgarh
Udaipur
is
a
famous
city
of
Rajasthan
and
is
popular
for
its
ancient
as
well
as
modern
structures.
One
among
them
is
the
Vedi
Temple,
a
shrine
dedicated
to
the
Goddess
Vedi,
present
within
the
vicinity
of
the
Kumbhalgarh
Fort
situated
in
Hanuman
Pol
of
Rajsamand
district.
The
UNESCO
world
heritage
is
a
great
attraction
to
all,
as
one
gets
to
enjoy
the
majestic
architecture
of
the
fort
and
also
pay
respects
to
the
pilgrim
sacrifice
site
built
within
the
Vedi
Temple.
The
shrine
is
elevated
on
a
high
platform
and
faces
the
west.
As
history
provides,
the
temple
was
made
to
perform
sacred
rituals
followed
by
the
Jain
community.
In
terms
of
structure,
it
stands
atop
36
pillars
forming
an
octagonal
shape
pattern.
The
double
storied
temple
is
open
to
all
and
engulfs
you
into
an
envelope
of
positivity
and
goodness.
Besides
this
temple.
It
is
recognized,
protected
and
maintained
by
the
Archaeological
Survey
of
India.
There
are
more
temples
built
at
the
foothills
of
the
fort.
The
Jain
temple
dates
back
to
1457
AD,
built
between
1443
to
1448.
The
shrine
was
constructed
by
Rana
Kumbha
to
honour
the
sacrifice
of
pilgrims
visiting
the
area.
Certain
sections
of
the
structure
were
renovated
by
Maharana
Fateh
Singh.
It
is
of
immense
significance,
as
it
remains
to
be
the
sole
pilgrim
sacrificial
site
present
in
India.
The
Vedi
Temple
is
situated
in
the
Kalwara
Tehsil,
Rajsamand
district
of
Rajasthan,
in
close
proximity
to
the
Kumbhalgarh
Fort.
You
can
drive
from
main
city
of
Udaipur
by
covering
101
kms.
There
is
good
connectivity
between
the
shrine
and
the
Udaipur
Railway
station
and
domestic
airport.
