A Chabutro (also spelt Chabutaro; Gujarati) or Chabutra (Hindi) is a tower-like structure found in India that provides nesting sites for birds, especially pigeons. People, particularly Hindu consider it auspicious to feed pigeons and in morning women, men and even children come to feed pigeons at such Chabutras and as such you can see Chabutra outside villages, where Hindu population is more and also can find Chabutra inside Hindu Temples.
