    History

    The Sahastrabahu Twin Temples were built in the 11th century during the reign of King Mahipala of the Kachchhapaghata dynasty. The larger temple, dedicated to Vishnu, was commissioned by King Mahipala himself, while the smaller temple was reportedly built by his daughter-in-law. The temples served as important religious centers during the Kachchhapaghata rule. Over the centuries, the temples faced natural decay and were also subjected to damage during various invasions. Despite the partial ruins, the surviving structures stand as testaments to the artistic and architectural prowess of the era. Restoration efforts have been undertaken to preserve these historical treasures for future generations, allowing visitors to appreciate the intricate craftsmanship and historical significance of the Sahastrabahu Temples.
