#SAT History ✨
1⃣ The former capital of Mewar Kingdom is known for its Lakes & Palaces. But not many know Udaipur for the Bronze Age souvenirs it still keeps.
One such guardian of history & Kingdom is the Ahar Cenotaph Complex, known to be the largest among medieval cenotaphs.

2⃣ Standing at one end, the cenotaphs seem to be stretching as far as the eye can see. Walking through, the shadow of Mewar Kings overlooks the race of time.
A semblance of Mughal Era domes, the cenotaphs are not exactly rounded but bear similarity to a pumpkin placed atop.

3⃣ There are some more than 250 cenotaphs over an area of 3.02 hectares. These are believed to have been built 350 years ago.
Clustered together, the cenotaphs served as the royal cremation ground for Mewar Kings, Queens, Maharajas & other people of importance in the Kingdom.

4⃣ Not very far away from complex is Ahar’s Archeological Museum which contains artifacts found from these lands & over #Rajasthan.
Earthen pots, everyday items, seals, & other antiques are as old as 10th century. The museum is just as much an attraction as the cenotaphs.
End.
