The Royal Chattardis of Bhuj, Kutch, Gujarat

The Quirky wanderer wrote : The Royal Chattardis of Bhuj were built in the 18th century as the resting place of the Rao rulers of Kutch. A beautiful place to see the sunset, though most of it was affected severely by the Bhuj earthquake of 2001.

Located at a distance of 8 km from the #BikanerCity, #DeviKund or #DeviKundSagar is a collection of #Cenotaphs (#Chattris), an amazing proof of classic #RajputanaStyle of architecture that has been mixed with Islamic architecture. These chattris are made of white marble and red sandstone and are decorated with intricate carvings. Originally a royal crematorium, Devi Kund was erected in the memory of the deceased members of the royal family of #Binaker. These cenotaphs narrate the tales of bravery of Bikaji rulers. #india #FamousPlacesInIndia #indianforts #indiapictures #indiaclicks #indiatravelgram #indianphotography #travelgram #photographersofindia #indiatrip #indiatourism #indiaphotos #travel #travelindia #backpackindia #backpacking #indian #amazingindia #indianhistory #indianmonuments #incredibleindia #follow #followme #followus #Surathu PC: @amritadas15 https://www.instagram.com/p/BxHxlmWA3hx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=154dbcd1ozkw7
