Monumento all'Indiano, Cenotaph in Parco delle Cascine, Florence, Italy.
The stone monument features a domed canopy supported by four columns, housing a bust of Maharajah Rajaram Chhatrapati of Kolhapur.
The British government funded this 1870 memorial after Maharajah Rajaram II passed away in Florence while returning from a meeting with Queen Victoria.
The monument bears inscriptions in four languages - Italian, English, Hindi, and Punjabi - reflecting the cross-cultural connections between Italy and India.
Located at the western end of Parco delle Cascine, the monument stands near the convergence point of the Arno River and Mugnone stream.
This site witnessed the first authorized Hindu cremation ceremony in Florence, sparking scientific discussions about cremation practices in 19th-century Italy.
