It has approximately 19 cenotaphs of various Maharanas who were cremated here.Read more
This group of cenotaphs is also known as Mahasati, or the "Great Place of Sati." It is also the place where, at times, the wives or concubines of the Maharana were either burned or committed sati with him. For this reason, the place is also known as Mahasati (transl. Great Place of Sati).
These cenotaphs are arranged side by side in a vast enclosure and vary in size, ranging from a small chhatri with four columns to a mahal. Despite differences in layout and details, they all follow the same basic design. Each structure features a dome supported by columns, forming a circular pavilion. It is set on a raised terrace, accessed by a flight of steps. The entire structure, including the terrace, stairs, columns, and domes, is made of white marble from Kankroli. The most remarkable among these cenotaphs are those of Amar Singh and Sangram Singh II. These cenotaphs are built in the Jain architectural style.
Arvind Singh Mewar was cremated here on 17 March 2025.
