Chhatri

[1][2] The earliest examples of chhatri being used in the Indian Subcontinent were found in the Shrine of Ibrahim in Bhadreswar, constructed between 1159 and 1175 AD.

The most notable surviving examples today are to be found at Humayun's Tomb in Delhi and the Taj Mahal in Agra.

[3] Chhatri have also been used in Rajasthan and other parts of the Indian Subcontinent by both Muslim and Hindu rulers.

There are two notable chhatri in the United Kingdom, a country with strong historical links to India.

The other is in Arnos Vale Cemetery near Bristol and is a memorial to the distinguished Indian reformer Raja Ram Mohan Roy, who died in that city.
