About Ahar
About 2 Kms east of the ancient capital of Sisodia- Udaipur, Ahar is
famous for the impressive cluster of cenotaphs of the Maharanis of
Mewar, which are recently been restored. A total of around 19 former
Maharanis were cremated here. The most striking cenotaph is that of
Maharana Amar Singh, who ruled from 1597 to 1620.
There is a museum, where you will find a limited, but very old
collection of earthen pottery, sculptures and other archaeological
finds. Some pieces date back to 1700 BC and there is a beautiful 10th
century metal figure of Buddha.
Photography is not allowed.
