Ruler

In line with the Chittorgarh's tradition, the Deity of the fort is considered the ruler whereas where the King is a mere representative. Hence the Samadheeshwara Temple served Lord Shiva both as his abode and his court. The Samadheeshwara served as the primary temple of Chittor till the times of Maharana Kumbha. Samadheeshwara is one of the first in the line of the Chitrakuta Style of temples. The temple also finds inscriptions to the Chalukya (Solanki) emperor Kumarapala in his youth while he was a prince.
