The Samadhishvara Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva. The name of the temple comes from Samadhishvara, which means "Lord of Samadhi". That being another name for Shiva. The temple design is a mixed bag of different styles, which is unsurprising since this has been an active temple since the 11th century. The exterior of the temple has a very distinct bands of relief on different levels. The lower levels contains half relief sculptures of elephants, followed by relief of cavalry, then dancing sati and civic processions, as move you move up the levels.
The roof of the temple is a conical pyramid, with many smaller conical pyramids surround the main one, that gives the impression of a single pyramid when far off enough. An interesting mix of architectural styles.

This 11th century temple is the oldest amongst the temples built in this historic fort , but the craftsmanship still shines through the stories carved in stone.This temple was originally built by Raja Bhoja of Parmara dynasty in early 11th century near the sacred Gaumukh kund , & later was extensively renovated by Maharana Mokal in 1428 , therefore known as Mokaljis temple.The temple has a pyramidal roof typical of Jain Architecture . The base of the temple is in the form of an inverted lotus. The sanctum sanctorum houses a huge 9 ft idol of Trimurti - Brahma - the creator , Vishnu - the preserver , Mahesh - the destroyer . There is a big nandi statue in the west . In the south a long staircase leads to the Gaumukh kund. The walls of the temple & the pillars are richly decorated with remarkable sculptures & inscriptions of that period.

Situated between the Victory Tower and the Fortress reservoir it is adorned with hundreds of intricate carvings, has a shrine dominated by a pair of eyes and commands a sensational view over the town. It is also inhabited by "playful" monkeys.

This temple located within the Chittaurgarh Fort is dedicated to Lord Shiva. An ancient temple built in 11th century is still functioning. The temple has some beautiful carvings on its walls and a statue of Nandi at the entrance. Overall a nice and peaceful place to take Darshan of Lord Shiva.

This is a Hindu temple located in the same "Vijay Stambha complex" on the northern bank of Gaumukh Kund reservoir and dedicated to Lord Shiva.Evidence suggests this temple was constructed in the 11th century and restored during the 13th and 15th centuries. Temple ruins destroyed by invaders can be seen on the ground in front of the temple.
