Built by Maharaja Jai Singh II in the memory of some royal families, Bada Bagh holds its significance in the history since its construction in the 16th century. However, the tradition of constructing chhatris or cenotaphs started from the 17th century. Each cenotaph was set up as a memorial of a king or a queen post their death. The last cenotaph was built in the memory of Maharaja Jawahar Singh, who ruled the city after the independence of India. Though, its construction remains incomplete due to the sudden death of his son. And since then, the tradition of building cenotaphs was discontinued.

Awati's 6 days trip to Jaisalmer

The owner of the travel company that we travelled with is a person who doesn't even know how to talk with their customers. Firstly our travel agent was Preeti agarwal and when we called her to raise some complaints she was not even able to accept them and then the owner started talking to us. Who is such a egotistic person with no sense of talking to customers.

Gurunathan's 3 days trip to Jaisalmer

The hotels in general were not at a three star level except for Shani Vilas in Ranthambore. The hotel in Agra did not even have hot water. The initial room provided in Delhi's metro view was very bad and we had to request for a change. The toilet flush was not working, the bathroom door did not have a latch, the door was broken etc. Please ensure that the right level of hotels are provided.

Mozhiarasu's 5 days trip to Jaisalmer

The best thing happened is the drivers in the jodpur, who resolved the messed up plan by the travel agent. Hotel Sia Resorts changed and we have been changed to different resort,which was older property. The daywise plan made by the travel agent was absurd and created lot of confusion.
