In 1683 the Maharaja of Bundi had some spare money and wanted a long-lasting memory for his nurse. So he built this pretty 84-Pillared Cenotaph in her honor. All in white marble, it holds four chattri placed on the 4 corners, a large Shiva Linga in the centre and really nice carvings around the base. All set in a nice little garden and worth an hour to take some pictures.

Let me tell you about my recent visit to the 84 Pillared Cenotaph in Bundi with my wife at the end of January 2023. I was completely blown away by the incredible architecture of this historical monument, which is located right in the heart of the city. As soon as I entered the cenotaph, I was mesmerized by the intricate carvings and the breathtaking design of the eighty-four pillars. The view of the city from the top was absolutely stunning and I couldn't help but feel awed by the beauty of it all. One of the most special things about the 84 Pillared Cenotaph was the presence of a beautiful Shivlinga inside, which holds great significance in Hindu mythology. I made sure to take off my shoes before entering as a mark of respect. Despite being impressed by the stunning architecture and incredible views, I couldn't help but notice that the upkeep of the cenotaph could be better. It's such an important historical site and I believe that with a little more attention to maintenance, it could attract even more visitors. In my opinion, a visit to the 84 Pillared Cenotaph is an absolute must for anyone interested in architecture, history, or spirituality. It's a true testament to the rich heritage of Bundi and I feel privileged to have experienced it for myself.
