Devi Kund at Bikaner
Devi Kund (8km): Devi Kund in Bikaner is important as it houses the royal cenotaphs of the mighty rulers who belonged to the Bika dynasty. These cenotaphs are referred to as chattris in the local parlance. The most spectacular chattri at Devi Kund is that of Maharaj Surat Singh. A royal crematorium with several ornamented cenotaphs or “chhatris’ built in the memory of the Bika dynasty rulers. Maharaja Suraj Singh chhatri is the most impressive of all creative entirely in white marble with spectacular Rajput painting on the ceiling. All Devi Kund cenotaphs except the ones belonging to children are pillared canopied structures and the larger and elaborate the cenotaph; more important and significant was the king and his Bikaner reign. One particular tomb of interest is that of Maharaja Surat Singh, built entirely in white marble with spectacular Rajput paintings on the ceiling. One cannot miss the spectacular Rajput paintings on the ceilings.
