The small town of Bijoliyan lies on the
road to Chittaurgarh and you reach it after
crossing a picturesque plateau. It has three
lovely 13th century Shiva temples located
around a pretty tank called Mandakini Kund.
The Uddeshwar Temple, with a sunken
Shivling, is the most exquisite with some
fabulous carved images on its outer walls.
Ask the ASI caretaker to point out the
sculptures of Ardhanareshwar, Harihar,
Natraj and Surya. The other two shrines are
devoted to Mahakal and Hazareshwar. The
Hazareshwar Shivling consists of a thousand
smaller Shivlings. |
