In Jaipur, two distinct sites are set down for the erection of cenotaphs to commemorate the lives and achievements of the royal family. One is for the Maharajas, and the second site is for their Maharanis. As the Maharajas ruled, and there were often multiple (10 usually) Maharanis to each Maharaja, the cenotaphs of the Maharajas were more elaborate.
This looks through the cenotaph of Maharaja Jai Singh, towards those of two other Maharajas.
