Krishnapura Chhatris
कृष्णपुरा छत्री
Three stone memorial pavilions of the Holkar royal family beside the Khan River, with exquisite Maratha architecture, a few minutes' walk from Rajwada Palace.
These cenotaphs were built on the sites where the Holkar royals were cremated. The three at Krishnapura commemorate Queen Krishna Bai, Tukoji Rao II, and Shivaji Rao, and were built in the 19th century. The stone pillars, pointed spires, and statues inside are finely crafted, reflecting a blend of Maratha and Rajput architectural styles. They have now been restored and are lit at night. Entry is free. The site pairs well with Rajwada Palace and Sarafa Night Market for an evening tour of the old town.
