Devi Kund

The royal crematorium is located eight kilometres from Bikaner. It contains a number of fine chhatris (cenotaphs), each of which is erected on the exact area where a member of the Bikaji dynasty was cremated and is dedicated to their remembrance. A beautiful illustration of that time period's architecture is the chhatri of Maharaj Surat Singh. Additionally, Devi Kund features cenotaphs for 22 female royal family members who lived before Maharaja Gaj Sigh Ji, who committed sati. There is also a cenotaph for a monarch who was a Sata (male sati). The Chhatri of Maharaja Surat Singh is entirely made of white marble, and its ceiling features magnificent Rajput murals.
