The walled complex includes an elaborately pillared hall under a large pyramidal roof and features a four- faced Siva image of black marble. The temple is open at rather odd hours-5 to 7 am, 10 am to 1 pm and 5 to 7 pm.
At Nagada, about a km off the road and a km before Eklingi, are three old temples. The Jain temple of Adbudji is essentially ruined, but its architecture is interesting and it’s very old. The nearby Sas Bahu, or Mother and Daughter-in-Law, group has very fine and intricate architecture and carvings, including some erotic figures. You can reach these temples most conveniently by hiring a bicycle in Eklingi itself.

The beautiful Lake Pichola was enlarged by Maharana Udai Singh after he founded the city. He built a masonry dam, known as the Badi Pol, and the lake is now four km in length and three km wide. Nevertheless, it remains fairly shallow and can actually dry up in severe droughts. At these times, you can walk to the island palaces from the shore. Fortunately, this doesn’t happen often. The City Palace extends a considerable distance along the east bank of the lake. South of the palace, a pleasant gardens runs down to the lake. North of the palace, you can wander along the lake, where there are some interesting bathing and dhobi (laundry) ghats.
Out in the lake are two islands- Jagniwas and Jagmandir. Boat rides, which leave regularly from the City Palace jetty (known as Bansi Ghat), are pleasant but expansive.
