Photograph of the Ekalinga Temple from James Burgess' 'Photographs of Architecture and Scenery in Gujarat and Rajputana' taken by Colin Murray in c.1872. Eklingji, northeast of Udaipur, is a complex of 108 temples and shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva. This is a general view of the Ekalinga Temple, photographed from outside the boundary wall. The temple is built on the shore of a small lake and it is approached by a flight of steps. The hall or mandapa has finely carved pillars housing a four-faced Shiva image and a silver Nandi. The roof of the sanctuary is made of a cluster of miniature spires. The present structure was built in the 15th Century.
