The story
This cenotaph, or chhatri, in Bundi was put up in 1683 by Rao Raja Anirudh Singh in memory of his foster brother, Deva (Dewa Gujar). It stands on a raised platform and takes its name from the 84 pillars that hold up its domed roof.
The pillars and ceiling are carved in Rajput style, and a Shivling sits under the canopy, giving the memorial a religious role as well. Bundi itself was the capital of the Hada kingdom of Hadoti, founded when Rao Deva took the area from the local Meenas.
