Gaitor Ki Chhatriyan is a collection of ornate royal cenotaphs (chhatris) of the Kachwaha Maharajas of Jaipur, set against the Aravalli foothills at the base of Nahargarh Fort. The intricately carved marble and sandstone canopies are among the finest examples of Rajput funerary architecture.
Gaitor served as the royal cremation ground for the Kachwaha dynasty from the 18th century until the early 20th century. Each cenotaph reflects the stature and taste of the ruler it commemorates. The most ornate belongs to Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the astronomer-king who founded Jaipur.
