About this audio guide
This guide to Gaitor Ki Chhatriyan in Jaipur walks among a cluster of small domes built for the children of Maharaja Madho Singh, lost together to an epidemic, alongside the far grander cenotaph of Jai Singh II, the king who founded Jaipur and chose this site as his dynasty's cremation ground in 1733. It traces the marble cenotaph raised by his son and follows the succession of Kachwaha rulers laid to rest here since, down to the most recent chhatri, built for Bhawani Singh in 2011.
