From Bikaner (State: Rajasthan) at a distance of 8kms is the site royal cenotaphs of rulers of Bikaji dynasty known as Devi Kund. The royal crematorium has several exquisite cenotaphs.
Each of them are erected in memory of rulers of Bikaji dynasty and is situated on the exact place where they were cremated. These marble cenotaphs reflect the Rajputana style of architecture.
The cenotaph of Maharajah Surat Singh is very intricately designed. There are beautiful miniature frescoes on the ceiling of this inside the dome. The paintings even today appear very fresh.
Tour of Bikaner is incomplete without a visit to this place.

These are absolutely beautiful. Thank you for showing us such unique features of your country.
The paintings in the ceiling are great and fascinating :)

I notice there are not many plants in your photographs. Trees once in a while. Is there often a drought?
Wonderful details in that roof. Great pictures as always:-)

Looks like these are very beautiful remembrances of the various rulers! Very impressive structures!
Wonderful buildings. I'm surprised they are so much alike - I would have expected each ruler would want to leave his distinctive mark.
These structures are exquisitely beautiful. Your photos show them very well. Thank you for taking us with you on your visit.
Very beautiful royal building. I guess you must have travel all over India. Have a nice weekend.
