Gaitore
The former Maharajas of Jaipur are entombed in Gaitore, which is located just off the Jaipur-Amber route. The white marble chhatris (cenotaphs) represent the distinct Rajput architectural style. The open pavilions are anchored by delicately sculpted pillars and have ornate domes. In the centre of yellow sandstone hills, the crematorium is situated
A chattri's decor and extravagance are intended to represent the ruler's stature and prowess. Maharaja Jai Singh's chattri, with its 20 carved pillars, is the most elegant and majestic in Gaitor. Because of its elaborate carvings, it attracts a lot of tourists.
The city of Jaipur rises majestically against the backdrop of the forts of Nahargarh, Jaigarh, and Garh Ganesh Temple. The bustling modern city is one of three points on the golden triangle, which also includes Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur.
