A small lake whose shores are used for royal cremations and are home to the cenotaphs of the maharajas and their families
The banks of the small Devi Kund Lake (Goddess Lake) are used for royal cremations and host the cenotaphs of the maharajas and their families. Among this impressive series of white marble funerary monuments, you will especially notice that of Surat Singh, whose ceiling is still decorated with frescos. Before the ban on sati by the British in the early 19th century, ranis immolated themselves in the royal pyre, as they were forbidden to outlive their husbands. Each chhatri indicates the precise location of a maharaja's cremation.

Petite anecdote : il nous fut trés désagréable de nous y déplacer car tout s'y fait pieds nus ...et le chemin etant aussi en marbre sous un soleil de plomb, c'était archi brulant !!! on courrait entre chaque zone d'ombre ...(prévoir chaussettes qui doivent etre autorisées)
