On a low hill just north of Jaisalmer, an otherworldly skyline of domes and pillars rises above the desert. These are the royal cenotaphs (chhatris) of Bada Bagh—a golden necropolis where the Bhati rulers and their families were commemorated for centuries. At sunrise and sunset the yellow sandstone blushes into copper, the domes casting long colonnaded shadows across the scrub and the old mango groves below.

Udaipur, often celebrated for its lakes and palaces, also cradles lesser-known yet profoundly significant historical gems. One such site is the Ahar Cenotaphs, locally known as "Ahar ki Chhatriyan." Located just 2 km east of the City Palace, this serene necropolis stands as a tribute to over 350 years of Mewar's royal legacy.
