7. Gaitore Ki Chhatriyan

The Gaitore are cenotaphs, or empty crypts. Since it is Hindu custom to cremate the dead, these buildings stand as a monument to the departed, rather than a grave marker.

9. City Palace

This red palatial compound is as old as the city itself, and was the seat of power for the king of Jaipur up until 1949, when Jaipur joined the union of India. Within can be found a museum to Jaipur’s last maharaja and it still houses the Jaipur royal family.

For all of its parapets and turrets, it seems the regional ruler did not trust Amer Fort to withstand an attack, and so they built Jaigarh fort to watch over it. Jaigarh also has the unique honor of being one of the biggest cannon foundries in the early modern era.
