Sas Bahu Temples, also called the Sasa-Baku Temples, Sas aur Bahu ke Mandir, Sas-Bahu Twin Temples, are the 11th-century twin temples in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India within the Gwalior Fort complex. The bigger temple (Saas) is dedicated to Aniruddha, considered widely as a Jana avatar, an avatar of Vishnu and grandson of Lord Krishna & the smaller temple (Bahu) is dedicated to Shiva. Like most Hindu and Jain temples in this region, they were mostly in ruins and were badly damaged from numerous invasions and Hindu-Muslim wars in the region.[2]
