About
Built in the 11th century by King Mahipala of the Kachchhapaghata dynasty, these twin temples within the Gwalior Fort complex are dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The name "Saas-Bahu" (mother-in-law and daughter-in-law) is a colloquial corruption of "Sahastrabahu" (thousand-armed Vishnu). The larger temple features remarkably detailed stone carvings and ornate pillars.
