The only cenataph I know of is in London and is a memorial to the soldiers who died in the wars. A group of cenataphs in Orchha are grand memorials to the kings of the 17 & 18 centuries. Appropriately, they soar into the heavens like the vultures which have taken up residence on the roofs. The ticket collector was delighted to talk about the vultures of India of which there are 6. As vultures go, these were quite presentable!
India is full of contradictions. Haggling with autorickshaw drivers is a pain and then you stop at a cafe with signs in Spanish, order a cup of tea and then the owner says it is free.
