| HeidICON: | Beschreibung: "The funeral procession and cremation took place on Tuesday, 14 April, the day following the evening on which the king had died.[...] As the cortège started from the Candramahal, the purohits, both those of; the royal household (hajūr, hazūr) and the state (des), joined in the task of shouldering the bier. It was carried up to the Sarhad ḍyoṛhī, beyond which the gradually widening public space opens towards the east.; [...] The route of the procession cannot be mapped with absolute certainty, for the roads have changed over the centuries. A map of Jaipur, which must have been drawn during the reign of Pratāpsingh, gives an idea of the topography of the period and has served as the basis of map 1. [...] The route given in the protocol was marked by the following places, of which the two where the cortège stopped are marked with an asterisk.; These are ‘the midway stop’ and Gaiṭor, its final destination:; Sarhad ḍyoṛhī → Kapaṛkoṭ darvāzā → Sāṁgāner cauk → Tripoliā → Āmber; cauk → Kolhar kā bāzār → Chīpās (Chīpā colony) → sand mound on the bank of the lake (scil. Jaisāgar) → Cau morī (Four morīs) → Naharī khurā → Gokulnāth temple → enclosure of Gaiṭor, and back by the same route.; [...] The cortège then proceeded into the land of the Mīṇās, the community absolutely; crucial to Kachvāhā kingship.[...] Gaiṭor itself was a Mīṇā village, and the hill fort of Sudarśangaṛh (commonly known as Nāhargaṛh), built by Savāī Jaisingh in 1734, was preceded by a bhomiyā settlement (Singh 2002: 209). [...] Making the royal cremation ground and cenotaphs at Gaiṭor allowed the Kachvāhās to benefit from the power of the Mīṇās over the territory."; Quelle: Horstmann, Monika (2013).
