Over 250 royal chhatris, and a museum of a 4,000-year-old culture.

Small entry feeDaytimeAshok Nagar, east Udaipur

Mahasatiya, the royal cremation ground of Mewar, holds more than 250 cenotaphs of the Maharanas and their families, white domes crowded together in quiet rows.

Next door, the Ahar Museum displays pottery and tools from the Ahar-Banas culture, which settled here in the Chalcolithic age, long before Udaipur existed.

Good to know

  • Few tourists come here; it's a calm, unhurried visit.
  • Ask the caretaker which chhatri belongs to which Maharana.
