Photo
Chetak Samadhi is a memorial where Chetak, a faithful horse of Maharana Pratap (AD 1540-1597) took his last breath on 18th June during the battle of Haldighati in AD 1576. In this battle, Maharana Pratap and his horse were severely wounded. The critically injured Chetak saved his master by carrying him from Rakta Talai to the other end of Haldighati by crossing the nearby stream. To remember his loyalty and sacrifice of Chetak, a memorial was raised over the site.
