How can memory be preserved? In our speeches or our fables? However, the vivid hues of recollections fade over time, and layers of dust eventually cover them up.

But, how can our Rajas and Maharajas fail to preserve the grandeur of their dynasties and maintain their memories alive for centuries? Of course, their efforts to immortalize death are admirable. Death is synonymous with sadness, but Maharajas turned this sorrow into a 'Saga of the Past.' The most exquisite and graceful instance in this saga is Jaipur's famed 'Gatore ki Chhatriyan.'

A Rajput dynasty Kachwaha that reigned at Gatore Ki Chhatriyan was responsible for maintaining the royal crematorium grounds. Maharaja Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur, chose the site in the 18th century. Since 1733, every Kachhwaha king has been cremated here. The only missing cenotaph is Maharaja Sawai Ishwari Singh, whose burial took place at Jaipur's city palace complex.
The Gatore compound follows Vedic architectural guidelines with Indo-Persian structural and arcuate building influences. Crematoriums are located north of the hamlet and sloping southwards, according to Vedic norms. A body of water, particularly a river, provides an ideal setting for the memorials. Furthermore, the Rajas built the crematoriums and monuments in remote places not seen from afar.

The cenotaphs of the royals are distributed around the complex, resulting in what appears to be a mix of tiny open-air palaces and beautiful towers. The structures indicate the locations of prior leaders' cremations.
