See the splendid royal cenotaphs at Gaitor and discover
a whole new world of architectural brilliance in white
marble. Located in a narrow valley in the midst of glistening
yellow sandstone hills, Gaitor was the royal crematorium
of the mighty Kachhawa rulers.
Gaitor was designated as the royal cremation grounds
during the reign of Sawai Jai Singh II.
Most of the Chattris or cenotaphs at Gaitor are designed
as open pavilions with ornate domes supported by delicately
sculpted pillars. The décor and lavishness of
a particular Chattri reflects the stature and might
of a particular king.
The most graceful and beautiful Chattri at Gaitor is
that of Maharaja Jai Singh, Maharaja Madho Singh II's
Chattri is an equally splendid structure that stands
two stories high with intricate carvings and delightful
motifs. Sawai Jai Singhji's Chattri has more than 20
carved pillars that add to the beauty and grandness
of this massive chattri.
There are several tiny Chattris that dot Gaitor. These
belong to young princes who suffered an untimely death.
