Moosi Maharani Ki Chhatri is situated in the city palace in Alwar. In this monumental structure where nestles an ornamental impressive cenotaph called Moosi Maharani ki Chhatri. It was built by Vinay Singh in the memory of Maharaja Bakhtawar Singh and his queen, Rani Moosi, who committed sati, the self immolation of a widow on her husband’s funeral pyre.
This double-storied cenotaph is positioned on a platform of pillared red sandstone. The upper storey is made of marble and has some splendid arches and unusually rounded roofs. The interiors have some great carvings, though most of the frescoes on the ceilings are not visible any more. There live hundreds of peacocks and other colorful birds flapping around the place. Against the backdrop of the Aravallis, the entire complex looks grand.
Near the Chhatri's is a huge water kund (tank). It was created in 1815 by Vinay Singh and is lined with steps on three sides like a baoli (step well). The desert kingdom of Rajasthan has many such tanks which served as community centers, and constructing them was considered an act of great generosity and benevolence. On the bank of the kund are several royal temples.
