Ahar Cenotaphs is a popular place to visit in Udaipur,  for its illustrious cenotaphs of the royal rulers. In addition to that, it has an archaeological museum nearby. The site has 372 cenotaphs of the maharajas and maharanis of Mewar. 

History Of Ahar Cenotaphs

The maharajas built them almost 350 years ago to commemorate Mewar Royalty and the Maharajas who ruled the Mewar kingdom. However, the cenotaphs are memorials to remember them. Historians believe that to commemorate Maharana Amar Singh II in 1710; the Maharajas built the first cenotaph. 

Architecture Of The Cenotaphs

The chhatri of Maharana Amar Singh has exquisite carvings. Delicate carvings on the marble reveal the artistry of Medieval architects. Each chhatri has a picture of Shiva.

The cenotaph of Maharana Sangram Singh is of very special attraction. It has fifty-six pillars on its porch. Furthermore, centred with an octagonal dome it is held up by eight small pillars.

Ahar Museum

Because of rare antiques, the Archaeological Museum in Ahar is another major attraction.

Significantly, some of them date back to the 10th century. A metal figure of Lord Buddha of the 10th century and a statue of Vishnu-Nag-Nathan draw the attractions of the crowds most. Additionally, tourists can view items excavated from the mound of Dhulkot. Dhulkot, according to historians was a township in 2ndmillenium B.C.
