Moti Magri (Maharana Pratap Memorial)
Moti Magri
A memorial park on a small hill beside Fateh Sagar Lake, where a bronze statue of the national hero Pratap on his horse Chetak overlooks the water
Moti Magri, meaning 'Pearl Hill', lies on the south-eastern shore of Fateh Sagar Lake. On the summit stands a bronze statue of Maharana Pratap, the Mewar hero, riding his beloved horse Chetak, commemorating his resistance to the Mughal army at the Battle of Haldighati in 1576. The hillside has landscaped gardens, walking paths and a small exhibition hall displaying paintings and weapons from Pratap's life, as well as a stretch of replica old city wall and a small sound-and-light show (check on site). From the top you can look out over Fateh Sagar Lake and the surrounding hills. Admission is low. It can be combined with Fateh Sagar Lake and Saheliyon-ki-Bari in the same afternoon, reached by taxi or tuk-tuk.
