Significance

Cremation ground of Jaipur Maharajas

`

Gaitor, situated in a deep valley nearby, houses a temple of Lord Ganesh and the cenotaphs of the rulers. There are some twenty cenotaphs. The Gaitor is the place of the Chhatris of Kachhwaha kings and princes. Chhatris of the royal women are further away, near Man Sagar Lake. Impressive funerary monuments, in white marble or ocher sandstone, have been built on the cremation site of the maharajas of Jaipur. They are most often made up of a hall with columns covered with a majestic cupola. Some Gaitor, also called ‘chhatris) are decorated with sculptures representing Apsara (nymphs), Gandharvas (musicians) or processions. The most impressive is that of Maharaja Jai Singh II with its 20 sculpted columns. Meandering through the Chhatris in Gaitor is like strolling in the middle of miniature palaces in flamboyant Rajput style. Add to that the rocky place, at the foot of the hill that dominates Jaipur and you are suddenly away from the world, suspended between dream and reality.
