Mammadev Temple is loacted right below the Kumbhalgarh Fort and is known for its beautiful architecture and interiors. Built by Rana Kumbha in 1460, this temple boasts of intricate sculptures and is definitely one of the best places to visit in Kumbhalgarh. The temple has two cenotaphs or ‘chhatris’ in memories of famous rulers Rana Kumbh and Prithviraj Chauhan. Moreover, there were four huge blocks in the temple with inscriptions of history and heritage of Mewar clan. But a few years ago, the pillars were transported to Udaipur museum. There is also a huge reservoir locally called ‘kund’.
In 1460, the Mammadev Temple and kund were built by Rana Kumbha. The temple is situated below the fort and originally consisted of four slabs. The slabs had inscriptions on them providing the history of Mewar, from the period of Guhil, the founder of Mewar dynasty till Rana Kumbha, who was a great builder of temples and forts.
Presently, the slabs are preserved in the Udaipur Museum. The temple houses the image of Kuber, the God of Wealth and two cenotaphs or ‘chhatris’, in memory of Rana Kumbha and Prithviraj Chauhan, the famous warrior and knight errant of Mewar. A large reservoir or kund is situated close to the temple, nearby the cenotaph of Prithviraj Chauhan.
