Kumbha Shyam Temple Chittorgarh was constructed by Maharana Sangram Singh I, the ruler of Mewar (1482–1528), on the special request of Mirabai, his daughter-in-law. It was used as a private worship place to chant the name of Krishna by his devotee Mirabai.The grand structure of the temple, with a pyramidal tower, high roofs, and archways, is installed with idols of many Hindu gods and goddesses.[1][2][3]

In the vicinity of Kumbha Shyama Temple, there is a chhatri constructed in memory of Meera Bai's guru named Ravidass. This chattri, located opposite the main temple, preserves the impression of Guru Ravidass's footprints.[4]
