Meera Temple, Ahar

The Ahar Cenotaphs are a group of cenotaphs located in Ahar, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India. The site contains more than 250 elevated dome-shaped pavilions, or chhatris, of the royal house of Mewar, which were built over approximately 350 years. It has approximately 19 cenotaphs of various Maharanas who

were cremated here. This group of cenotaphs is also known as Mahasati, or the "Great Place of Sati." It is also the place where, at times, the wives or concubines of the Maharana were either burned or committed sati with him. For this reason, the place is also known as Mahasati.
