The Damis aligned with the facility of a green mount park which further adds to the tourist attraction of the place. During monsoon season, the heavy flow of the dam is witnessed. The spot is found to be peaceful and quiet. This place is just about 20 km away from Bhilwara railway station and one can spend quality time here in the lap of Mother Nature.
Pur Udan Chatri
‘Chatri’ in Hindi literally translates into umbrella. So, Pur Udan Chatri is called so because it is shaped in the form of an umbrella. Here, a rock structure towers the magnificent and heritage umbrella-shaped spot. The height of the tower is such that it surpasses the natural beauty of the surroundings. This is one of the most frequented historical destinations in Bhilwara.
