On the right bank of river Gomati at Udaipur is found the ruins of a big palace
built by Maharaja Govinda Manikya (1660-75 A.D.). The Bhuveneswari temple is
situated adjacent to this palace. The temple is constructed on a 3 feet high
paved terrace. The roof features the typical four-chaala pattern with stupa
like crowns on the vestibule and core chambers. The stupa on core chamber is
embellished with floral designs. The historical significance of this temple
is that it is the back-drop of the famous novel "Rajarshi" and the
drama "Bisarjan" composed by Rabindranath Tagore.
