 Gaitore
is the local corrupted form of the Hindi word 'Gaye Ka Thor',
which literally means, staying or resting place of departed
souls. This is the funeral ground of Kachhawaha rulers of
Jaipur, since the time of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II the
founder of the Jaipur city.
The cenotaphs are funerary memorials influenced by a combination
of Islamic-Tomb and Hindu-Temple architecture. The cenotaphs
of Sawai Jai Singh, Sawai Ram Singh and Sawai Madho Singh are
fine examples of majestic and grand appearance and master craftsmanship
of marble chiseling. Some of these cenotaphs still preserve
traces of paintings that once embellished their inner and outer
walls.
