Chhatris
Set in formal Mughal garden, with quiet nooks flowering tress, intersected by pathways with ornamentals balustrades and illuminative by by Victoria lamps, is the complex in which the cenotaphs of the Schindias are set. Facing for each other across a water tank are the chhatris of Madho Rao Scindia . And the dowager queen Maharani Sakya Raje Scindia , synthesising the architecture idioms of Hindu and Islamic styles with their shikhar type spires and Rajput and Mughal pavilions. The glittering white marble surface of Madho Rao Scindia's cenotaph is inlaid in the pietradura style ,with lapis lazuli and onyx to create a spectacularly rich effect, heightened by the delicacy of the trellis work on the sides. The dowager queen's cenotaph has a noble dignity of line and superb of harmony. Both memorials contain life-size image of the Scindias and these are tented to with extreme devotion by ceremonial-dressed retainers who performed the rituals of placing, flowers and incense before the statues each day. In the evenings, the hush is broken by the sound of music as artistes of the Gwalior gharana render the classical ragas before the statues white.

George Castle
Deep within forests of park, on its highest point ,is the turreted George Castle built by Jiyaji Rao Scindia. From here the view of the lake is unparalleled and the best time to visit the castle is at sunset when the lakes below mirror the changing hues of the evening sky .When word came to India, in the days of the British Raj, that the King Emperor himself was due to visit the sub-continent, one raja built an entire English castle, out in the jungle, for the single night that George V would spend in his state. He imported English tiles for the floors and stained glass for the windows. He brought in English crockery, cutlery, napery, glassware and the best of European wines. And then, sadly, the King Emperor didn’t come. Today the former hunting preserve has been converted into the Madhav National Park.
