Royal Gaitore Cenotaphs
गैटोर की छतरियाँ
The royal cremation ground at the foot of Nahargarh hill, with exquisitely carved domed cenotaphs in marble and sandstone. It is peaceful and uncrowded.
Gaitore is the cremation and memorial site of Jaipur's royal rulers, starting with Jai Singh II. Each ruler has a chhatri, an umbrella-shaped pavilion, and the white marble pillars and domes are covered in relief carvings. The most exquisite is Jai Singh II's 20-pillar cenotaph. The setting is quiet, with the cliffs of Nahargarh Fort behind it. Entry is inexpensive (check on site). It lies along the road to Amber Fort, so it can be visited on the way to Amber Fort or Nahargarh Fort.
