Chhatri containing the tomb of Rammohun Roy

This is a Bengali-style chhatri, a memorial structure, built in 1844 to contain the tomb of Raja Rammohun Roy, a prominent socio-religious reformer. The chhatri is constructed from ashlar limestone. The building has a cruciform floor plan and is topped by a slender dome decorated with carved stone leaves and a pinnacle. Twelve ornately carved columns support the roof, with fluting at the top, continuing upwards as pinnacles around the dome. The capitals of the columns feature ovolo moulding across three tiers, and each column has a square stone block with quatrefoil carvings near its center and further rectangular blocks at the base, above a moulded foot. A tall plinth supports the entire structure. Inside the chhatri, a large rectangular stone tablet is set on a step and inscribed with an extended biographical account of Raja Rammohun Roy, detailing his beliefs, achievements, and contributions to Indian society, alongside his birth and death dates (Radhanagare, Bengal, 1774; Bristol, September 27th 1833).
