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.
