Mandore Gardens | The Biggest Garden In Jodhpur

Situated 9km north of the centre of Jodhpur, Mandore turned into the capital of Marwar previous to the founding of Jodhpur. Its gardens, entire with rock terraces and home to playful grey langurs, include a variety of dark-pink cenotaphs of Jodhpur’s rulers. A rickshaw to the gardens costs among ₹2 hundred and ₹250.

Cenotaphs consist of the hovering but unkempt Chhatri of Maharaja Dhiraj Ajit Singh (1793), which mixes Buddhist and Jain elements in its architecture. It’s an large edifice with a high sikhara (spire), a pillared and domed forechamber, and pleasant sculpture which include small carved elephants and lions. The memorial also marks the spot in which sixty four queens and concubines dedicated sati ritual suicide of widow on husband’s funeral pyre) on Ajit Singh’s dying in 1724.

 It achieves excellent symmetry, with a gallery supported by way of massive pillars. The ultimate cenotaphs date to the 17th century.
