Jens,

I think the erection of stones commemorating fallen Rajput heroes in Gujarat may have continued into the 19th century CE. The ones with which I have some familiarity were originally erected at the site where the warrior was killed. Much later they were collected and transported to the rajah's mausoleum where they lie today. Present relatives of the fallen heroes still adorn some of these with paint, and some have recent gilt work.
