This structure is labeled as a cenotaph that typically is built in the memory of the royal family of the region but this Chhatri in Bundi with 84 Pillars appears to be a Temple with a Shivling in the center so it was puzzling for me when I visited here last week. Nevertheless, I found this place to be a majestic construction and it was symmetric on three sides and the fourth had a staircase.
Looking at the podium and the parikrama this resembles a Hindu temple. Several images depicting the lifestyle of the Indian kings of the 17th century are carved on the pillars with the edifice having various animals relief in marble and sandstone.
The ceiling is also painted with various mythological figures. A small and tight staircase leads to the upper floor. The second floor has a large round curved roof at the center of four small domes each at the corners. The view from the top is rewarding in that one can see the Bundi city and the Bundi fort in the distant far. In the front yard are lush green lawns with a fountain in the middle that adds to the beauty of the 84 pillared temple.
