This cenotaph was for the most part annihilated in 2001 seismic tremor and scarcely any vaults are as yet lying close by. Inside there is a dedication stone of Rao Lakhpatji of Kutch and his sovereigns. There are not many different boards with writing in Sanskrit with data about the lord and the samadhi. Every cenotaph has been unpredictably cut in customary plans and bears symbols that are unique in relation to one another. The landmarks are in ruins, yet the design detail and stone carvings are wonderful.
