JAWAHAR BURJ
Photo
Originally, the Jawahar Burj was constructed by Maharaja Suraj Mal (A.D. 1756-63) but the structures over it were raised by Maharaja Jawahar Singh (A.D. 1764-68) in commemoration of his victory of Delhi. Three mandapas were erected here, one painted with epic scenes. An inscribed Iron pillar bearing genealogy was recently erected here by the ex-ruler Maharaja Brijendra Singh. An Ashtadhatu Gate was brought from Delhi by Maharaja Jawahar Singh in A.D. 1765 as a trophy.
