Bada Bagh, also called Barabagh (lit. "grand garden" in Hindi) is a garden complex located about six kilometers north of Jaisalmer in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Overlooking a mango plantation sits a set of royal chhatri cenotaphs constructed by the kings of the Jaisalmer State in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries CE.[1][2][3]
