Photograph of the Mirabai Temple and of the Kumbha Shyama Temple at Chittaurgarh, taken by an unknown photographer in the 1900s.

In the background is the temple dedicated to the 15th century saint princess of Jodhpur Meera Bai, who was famous for her poetic compositions and bhakti for Sri Krishna.
