A traditional Nepalese resting place or chautara in the Gurkha Memorial Garden at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, Hampshire, UK
The Gurkha Memorial Garden at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens contains a selection of Nepal's unique flora. It was created in 1997 with generous funding from the Kadoorie Foundation of Hong Kong. On the top level stands a traditional Nepalese resting-place, the Chautara. This displays the Gurkha regiments. A chautara is a four-walled roofless structure for tired travellers to rest. It is common in Nepal for a chautara to be in memory of a recently deceased loved one. This one is in memory of Sir Horace Kadoories (1902-1995). He was a benefactor to the Gurkhas and their homeland of Nepal.
