About Moosi Maharani Ki Chhatri in Alwar

Moosi Maharani Ki Chhatri is one of the key attractions in the Indian city of Alwar.

The city is a part of the state of Rajasthan that is known for its rich history and culture. The monument is replete of artistic vibes and regality of the royals that once ruled Alwar. The structure is essentially a cenotaph that was built in the year 1815. The foundation and construction of it were carried out under the overview of Maharaja Vinay Singh of Alwar.

History Of Moosi Maharani Ki Chhatri Alwar

The idea of the cenotaph was of the Maharaja who wanted to dedicate it to his father and his wife. Vinay Singh's father, Maharaja Bakhtawar Singh was a fine ruler who ruled the kingdom of Alwar. He had a mistress who stayed by his palace. After the Maharaja’s death, the cenotaph was constructed in his memory. It is said that the King’s mistress performed Sati (sitting in the last rites fire) for the King and gave her life in his memory. After this event, she was given the status of his wife as this was a ritual that was performed by the wives for their husbands.

Architecture Of Moosi Maharani Ki Chhatri

This interesting cenotaph has a double-storeyed structure that has a shape like that of a flower. The materials used for its construction are brown sandstone and white marble. The materials used for the construction of the first storey of the cenotaph is the humble sandstone. The second storey and the cenotaphs or the chhatris were made using the regal white marble. There are many intricate carvings and designs that are a part of the design of this amazing structure. The exquisite and enchanting floral tracery and patterns here are quite interesting. To pay homage to the king and his wife, their footsteps are carved out here using marble.

The Moosi Maharani Ki Chhatri Alwar Rajasthan is a wonderful monument that can be checked out while on a trip to this amazing city. It would be a great stop on one’s trip to get acquainted with the city’s history and the overall vibe.

My entire trip to Rajasthan was excellent. The driver provided by the travel agent was very courteous and skilled.

Hemant's 4 days trip to Alwar

We had a wonderful experience booking our *Udaipur–Chittorgarh–Pushkar–Jaipur (Rajasthan Mewar)* trip through Aapka TripWala via Travel Triangle. Chirag from the tour company was extremely helpful from the very beginning. He carefully understood our requirements, as we were travelling with our 3-year-old, and tailored the itinerary perfectly for us. He also arranged our flight tickets and hotel bookings with ease. The hotels chosen for us were exceptional in comfort, location, and service, making our stay truly memorable. Our driver, *Mr. Nandu Singh*, made the journey stress-free and pleasant from the moment he picked us up at the airport until the final drop-off. He kept us informed about possible scams at tourist spots, was always patient and courteous (even when delays happened because of our little one), and greeted us each day with a warm smile. We really appreciated that he never pushed us toward any particular shop or market. Travelling with him was an absolute delight, and his professionalism enhanced our overall trip experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-organized, trustworthy, and family-friendly travel experiene.

Binoy's 4 days trip to Alwar

We are really grateful to Preeti Sharma from Back 2 Holidays for planning such a wonderful trip of Udaipur and Mount Abu. Initially we were sceptical about all the commitments given by Preeti, but to our complete surprise, everything what she has promised was honoured. Right from the hotel room, view, the cab, the tour plan was as committed. We are super delighted as it was my bday tour and wanted this to be special and would like to thank Preeti Sharma , the cab driver Kamlesh , who ensure we had the best experience of the lake city and Mt. Abu. Breathing Taking Hotel View, Dinner at Kamma Ghani , City palace and Mt. Abu Morning.

Devyani's 7 days trip to Alwar

We had a memorable trip to Rajasthan booked through Travel Triangle, though our experience was somewhat mixed. The cab driver assigned to us was truly dedicated and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Every restaurant he recommended was excellent, and the sightseeing throughout the journey was absolutely fabulous. That said, I would advise exercising caution when booking 4-star accommodations through the agent. It's important to clarify that we were referring to official hotel ratings, not guest reviews. Unfortunately, the agent’s interpretation did not match ours. Three out of the five hotels had ongoing renovation work, which significantly affected our comfort. Although the agent did try to make changes to minimize the inconvenience, the replacement hotels were not of genuine 4-star quality either. The most disappointing experience was the camping stay at Juma Resort in Jaisalmer. The property was infested with crickets, making it uninhabitable. Four families, including ours, ended up leaving the resort and paying out of pocket for alternative accommodation. Unfortunately, this was not even communicated to the travel agent at the time. On a positive note, our request for a rollaway bed for our daughter was fulfilled as expected, which we appreciated. In summary, while the itinerary and driver exceeded our expectations, the hotel arrangements — particularly the Jaisalmer experience — left considerable room for improvement.
