Menal

A temple group on the lip of a gorge over a hundred metres deep, built in the eleventh century and endowed by the Chahamanas: an inscription of Prithviraja II dated 1169 records a monastery here.

It sits on the road from Chittor east to Bundi and the Chambal. The 1200 lord is a matter of inference.
