Gaitore is the name of a majestic cremation ground where the bodies of kings were buried. In the memory of every king a cenotaph was constructed. These royal cenotaphs of the Maharajas are commonly known as `Chhatris`. The royal chhatris are engraved with typical Rajasthani carvings. Gaitore is regarded to be the mispronounced form of a Hindi phrase `Gaye ka Thor` which means `resting place of the departed souls`.

The cenotaphs nicely juxtapose the architectural features of both Islamic tomb and temple architecture of Hindu temple. Significant chhatris of Gaitore are those devoted to Sawai Ram Singh, Sawai Madho Singh and Sawai Jai Singh. Amongst them, one devoted to Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II is significant. For building this cenotaph, pure white marbles, embellished with subtle cuttings, peacocks and stunning patterns are used. Each and every cenotaph is exquisitely designed in remembrance of a specific king thereby representing the style and culture of their times.

Gaitore is unique in its charismatic appeal, throwing glimpse of the royal past heritage of majestic kings of Jaipur. Especially the wonderful prowess of cenotaphs and their glorious history that are built in Gaitore have drawn attention of the tourists both from India and also from foreign locales.
