Visited Nov 2022.
Writing this 'review' just as a heads-up. The place is being restored by the ASI. So entry is prohibited. If you are lucky the people there might let you have a quick look. Attaching a pic of a 'restored' chhatri.
Beautiful structures - very quiet and peaceful. Within a few of the larger ones are well preserved paintings that adorn the walls.
Place is must to be visited. Restoration by ASI is going on.
Classic prices of great art era of indian history,but it need great care under ASI.afterthat we can save these monuments from disappointed disappeare.
Beautiful place.
The chhatris are located just 10 minutes drive north-east from the center of Datia, by the shores of Karan Sagar lake. Here the royal families of Datia built cenotaphs to commemorate their dead.
Unlike most of the chhatris at Orchha, here there is a mix of sizes and styles, the larger constructions for the rulers themselves, and I'm guessing more modest monuments for lesser members of the royal family.
If you've already explored those chhatris at Orchha, the ones here at Datia may initially seem a little uninspiring in terms of size and setting. However, it is the interior of the chhatris where all that changes and makes a visit immensely worthwhile.
Many of the chhatris here are elaborately decorated with stories, myths and legends, as well as depictions of great deeds done by those remembered. Most of these paintings are in quite good condition, in the 1990s the A.S.I. worked here to fix leaks that were damaging the artworks on the walls and ceilings, and made efforts to try and preserve what remains.
You would have no idea of the colour and splendour housed within these monuments.
One of the most iconic architectural marvels of Madhya Pradesh is the set of royal tombs also called Chhatris. Decorated with beautiful sculptures, Chhatris are an alluring attraction that will leave you spellbound.
Situated on the banks of River Betwa, Chhatris are best witnessed in the reflections of the water from the narrow bridge across the river.
One of the popular sightseeing attractions, Chattris is a fascinating place for shutterbugs and history buffs.
Peaceful place to hangout.
It's mostly used for morning and evening walk, fresh air can be feel there. And Yes mazar are also there of scindia's family.
