20 mausoleums at the Kailash Mahal will be renovated
Around 20 mausoleums at the Kailash Mahal, known as “Raja Gori,” (exclusive burial ground of Maratha rulers and their lineage) here would be renovated.
The project was conceived by Shri Jayamala Rani Charitable and Educational Trust of Sadar Mahal Palace, Thanjavur, as mausoleums display a fusion of Maratha, Mugal and Dravidian architecture built with bricks, terracotta and lime plaster on granite and laterite base. Some have intricate ornament works and carry stone inscriptions providing details of the Maratha dynasty including the name and titles of the kings, queens and their date of demise and others.
