  Jamuna Bagh [Yamuna Bag] was well kept up and contains two very handsome chhattris, or cenotaphs, in memory of Parikh Ji, the founder of the family, and Mani Ram, his successor. The latter, built in the year of the chauranawe famine, 1837 A. D., is of exceedingly beautiful and elaborate design : perhaps the most perfect specimen ever executed of the reticulated stone tracery, for which Mathura is famous. It has been purposely made a little lower any smaller than the earlier monument, the caves of which at one corner completely overhang it.
