“Everything here is massive!” was the recurrent thought as we explored Gwalior Fort. First the colossal Jaina sculptures, then the monuments within the fort, and now the temples. They are impressive at first glance by their sheer size, but looking closer, there are so many intricate details on the smallest scale that amazement turns to awe at the talent and artisan-ship of those who built them. There are two such huge temples on the hill, both part of the Gwalior fort – the so-called Sas-Bahu temples and the Teli ka Mandir, both of which have interesting sources for their names!
