CENTER FOR ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY
Rani ki Chattri is a memorial built perhaps by widow of Anrudh Singh of Ballabhgarh royal family. It is a square, colonnaded structure raised on an elevated plinth. Octagonal turrets mark the corners of the Chattri, decorated with blind arcades and niches at ground level; capped with ribbed domed chattris at roof level. It is an ornate structure with architectural details like multi-cusped arches, pointed arches, jharokhas (windows) and a central chattri (dome) at terrace level with onion dome. The structure is constructed with bricks clad, buff coloured sandstone. Interior walls are covered in white plaster, the ceiling is painted. A sandstone chajja supported on brackets runs all around the building below parapet level.
