Travel approximately 20 km to Eklingji Temple, choosing either a comfortable car or a fun Tuk-Tuk ride. *** Shri Eklingji Temple (Approx. 1 hour): *** Explore the renowned 8th-century Eklingji Temple, the Kula Devata of the Mewar Dynasty.

Locally known as Sas Bahu (“One with a thousand arms”), these temples reflect Nagda’s historical importance as a former city of Mewar.
