About Chaurasi Khambon ki Chhatri

A cenotaph (chhatri) built with 84 pillars near the Kshar Bagh gardens in Bundi, constructed in 1683. It was raised by Rao Raja Anirudh in memory of his wet nurse, a rare dedication. The octagonal structure is a fine example of Bundi's ornate memorial architecture.
