Jaisalmer, Rajasthan
A Rajasthani man lost in thought – Jodhpur. Rajasthan – India.
Interesting monuments in the Bada Bagh of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India are the Cenotaphs. These cenotaphs also known as chattris and were constructed by the various Bhatti rulers. One cenotaph has been erected for each ruler. The oldest among them is the cenotaphs of Maharawal Jait Singh who reigned from 1470-1506. This tradition was discontinued when in 1947, one of the prince died of a mysterious disease. This was taken as a bad omen and thus this tradition came to its end.

It was shot at Bada Bagh of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India in Feb,09. This is a view of cenotaphs located inside Bada Bagh in the morning hour. All the monuments of Jaisalmer are made of Yellow stones. That’s why Jaisalmer is also called GOLDEN CITY. / On the nearby hill on Ramgarh road lie the imperial chhatris or cenotaphs of the rulers – a tribute to the valourous Bhatti dynasty. The oldest among them are the cenotaphs of Maharawal Jait Singh and his predecessor Devidas who reigned from 1470-1506. The newest cenotaph is that of Jawahar Singh who was Maharawal at the time of Indian independence. Jawahar Singh’s chhatri was left incomplete as his son died within a year of his accession to the throne which was considered a bad omen by the family. From then on the practice of building a valedictory memorial to the ruling clan has been discontinued It got featured in Authentic India Group on 5.7.09.

/ When I wasn’t playing cricket with the locals, I was in awe of the landscape that is India. This is Jaisalmer, dubbed the golden city because of its honey colour. There are also two black chairs above one of the balconies, no safety railing to speak of…. what a place!
