CHETAK SAMADHI, BALICHA

GENRAL VIEW

Chetak Samadhi is a memorial where Chetak , the faithful horse of Maharana Pratap took his last breath during the battle of Haldighati in 1576 CE between Maharana Pratap and Akbar. In this battle Maharana Pratap and his horse were severely wounded. Despite being critically injured, Chetak saved his master by carrying him from Rakta Talai to the other end of Haldighati by crossing the nearby stream. Thus to cherish the loyalty and sacrifice of Chetak, a memorial was raised over the site. Near Samadhi, a temple is there.
