In the heart of Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, the Samadhishvara Temple rises as a timeless symbol of faith and artistry.
Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the sanctum enshrines a striking three-headed idol that reflects his many dimensions. Each face tells its own story – one fierce and commanding, another calm and serene, and the third carrying an enigmatic expression. Together, they embody the vastness of Shiva’s being.
The temple’s origins trace back to the 11th century, when it is believed to have been commissioned by the Parmara king Bhoja. Some scholars suggest it may even predate him, but inscriptions from Chittor and beyond largely affirm that the shrine, originally known as Tri-Bhuvana, was established in this era. Over the following five centuries, it was restored and enriched multiple times, preserving its sacred legacy through the ages.
