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.

Take a combined ticket that costs Rs 75 for Indians and covers three places i.e. "Raniji ki Baori", "Sukh Mahal" and this place. If you have a student ID then it is only Rs 5 so do take one if you have to save on some money. Student discount is also for foreigners. This place is a good piece of architecture and if you count the pillars, you can count only 80. The rest 4 pillars are actually on the corners of the platform on which Shivlinga is placed. That makes it 84. It is actually a small open temple and you have to take off your shoes to enter. Do not forget to get the story behind its construction from the guide. That way, you will connect with the structure much more meaningfully. A reference to the story is also mentioned on the stone plaque at the gate. The small garden inside is not well maintained but overall, the place along with its interesting story is worth a visit.

This attraction is not worth a visit by itself, as it is some way out of the town and quite a drive from our hotel near the fort and palace entrances. We only came here as it was included in our combined ticket and we had some time to spare. It is a nice place. Very quiet and peaceful. The feature of the cenotaph is a large lingam on the platform under the dome. The caretaker seemed bored and talked to us as we walked around. It is only a small place. There are some lovely views of the surrounding area from the elevated platform and rooftop terrace. Climb the stairs to the rooftop for the best view.

While we were there we were able to see the small children at the school next door eating their lunch outside under the trees and playing in the playground. Some of them spotted us and waved. Also a herd of goats and their goatherd traversed the grounds of the old and rather large house next door on the other side. This added some value to our visit to the cenotaph.

This 84 pillared centograph is noteworthy for its architectural design, symmetry and perfection.The monument has exquisite carvings of elephants and other animals.
This monument is believed to have been erected by the King of Bundi in memory of his governess.
It has ticketed entry, so it is better to buy a three-in-one ticket for three popular attractions in Bundi, namely Raniji ki Baori, Sukh Mahal and this 84 pillared centograph.

Everyone who goes here I am sure will be counting the pillars as there are 84. It is sure an engineering marvel. Be prepared to climb a lot of steps.

You dont need too much time to visit this place as there is not much to see here.
If you come to Bundi do visit.

This attraction is on the outskirts of Bundi - ideally a 3 or 4 wheeler is recommended if you are visiting. Once you go in, there is a ticket which has to purchased. You can buy a single ticket or a composite ticket (good for 3 attractions). I would recommend buying the composite ticket.

You can go in, climb the steps and sit under the cenotaph. It is very nice and cool. It is actually a Shiva temple with a shivling inside the cenotaph. I would recommend this for a visit.

We only went as it was part of the Rs350 Composite Ticket. I can’t believe anyone would pay Rs200 to visit this.
Guards were bored, standing around the upper area - basically ruining any photo. It is a small place, are there really so many pillars? Unkept and unloved. Partially vandalized with stone faces missing. No info signs posted.

It is located on the way to railway station. Prefer going at the evening since you will get better view than daytime.
