<br />
'''Chetak Smarak''', also called '''Chetak Samadhi''', is a memorial to [[Maharana Pratap]]'s famed steed [[Chetak (horse)|Chetak]], in the Indian state of [[Rajasthan]]. The horse died of battle wounds after helping the Rana effect a miraculous escape from the [[Battle of Haldighati]]. The memorial is said to have been built at the spot that Chetak died.<ref name="ASI">{{cite web |url=http://asijaipurcircle.nic.in/Balicha%20-%20Chetak%20Samadhi.html |title=Chetak Samadhi |work=Jaipur Circle |publisher=Archaeological Survey of India |accessdate=16 November 2016 }}</ref><br />

It is situated in the [[Aravalli hills]] in the lake district of [[Rajsamand District|Rajsamand]], at the village of [[Balicha]].

It is an interesting little place with an old museum dedicated to the battle, and a new one coming up close by. It can be reached easily by road, about 4&nbsp;km from the temple town of [[Nathdwara]].<br />
