Cenotaphs of Gaitore

White marble and sandstone cenotaphs stand at the base of Nahargarh hills, featuring detailed carvings and architectural designs across multiple structures.

Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II established these royal cremation grounds in 1733, marking the final resting places for generations of Kachwaha dynasty rulers.

The monuments incorporate both Hindu temple and Islamic architectural elements, reflecting the cultural fusion prevalent during the construction period.

Located 15 kilometers from central Jaipur, the site charges an entrance fee of 30 rupees and remains open throughout normal daytime hours.

Each cenotaph displays distinct artistic patterns that represent the personal preferences and character of the specific ruler it commemorates.
