Shinde Chhatri is a memorial to the 18th-century military leader and commander-in-chief of the Maratha army Mahadji Shinde. The location of the memorial shrine or ‘chhatri’ (meaning umbrella), marks the site at which he was cremated in 1794. It's right next to a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, which Mahadji Shinde had ordered to be built. The architectural style is a fine example of Anglo-Rajasthani and is a stunning sight to see. Exquisite carvings on yellow and black stone, coloured window-panes, and old paintings and photographs make it a popular draw for tourists.
