At a distance of 11 km from Burhanpur Railway Station, Raja Jai Singh Ki Chhatri is a tomb located in Burhanpur, Madhya Pradesh. Situated on the banks of the Tapti River, it is one of the popular tourist places in Burhanpur.
Raja Jai Singh Ki Chhatri was constructed by the order of Emperor Aurangzeb in honor of the memory of Raja Jai Singh. Raja Jai Singh was the commander of the Mughal army in the Deccan. He died in Burhanpur while returning to Amber from the Deccan campaign. It is said that he was cremated at this place. This is also called Raja ki Chhatri.
Raja Jai Singh Ki Chhatri displays Rajasthani & Mughal architectural styles. This square-shaped structure is built on a podium with a fleet of stairs to reach it. Constructed using local black stone, the structure is open from all sides. The chhatri is mounted by a big dome along with eight smaller domes. There are 32 beautifully carved pillars supporting the domes. The dome is very airy from the inside. The cool breeze makes you want to sit there and enjoy the wild vegetation around.
