Jagdish temple in udaipur is the scene of the courageous attempt made by the Naroo Bharat ,a member of the Bardic community ,to defend the Jagdish temple from the destructive hands of the Mughal emperor Aurengzeb after the negative outcome of the battle of Debari in 1680 against the Mewar.
At this point of time Naroo Bharat came forward to defend the temple .His courage and determination in the face of the enemy have gained him a place in the Mewar's History.A Monumen to Him ,a small Chhatri marking the place where he died ,can be seen close by Jagdish temple in Udaipur Rajasthan.
