Located at the vital intersection of Zones 2 and 3, Choti Chhatri (the "Small Cenotaph") is an iconic stone pavilion that epitomizes Ranthambore’s blend of history and nature. This Rajput-style dome sits near the edge of Padam Talao Lake, serving as a favorite congregating spot for Hanuman Langurs. It is a picturesque landmark that signals the transition into the park’s famous lake district. The structure gained worldwide fame through a historic photograph of a tiger perfectly framed within its arches.
