The Samadhishvara Temple is a fine example of eleventh-century Hindu temple architecture within Chittorgarh Fort, dedicated to Shiva in the form of Samadhishvara. The carved exterior panels depict attendant deities, celestial nymphs, and the standard iconographic program of Shaiva temples of the period. The main shrine still receives devotion, and marigold offerings and incense smoke are a constant presence.
The temple stands near the Vijay Stambha and is often visited in combination with the tower. Like most monuments on the fort plateau, it was damaged during the Mughal sieges of the sixteenth century but the core structure survived. The surrounding area has the remains of several smaller shrines and is pleasantly shaded by old trees.
