Jaswant Thada Jodhpur               

Jaswant Thada of Jodhpur - One of the major tourist attractions of Jaswant Thada Jodhpur is located very close to the imposing Mehrangarh Fort. In fact, it is half way up the long road to the fort. It has served as a cremation ground for the Jodhpur rulers for a long time.

Cradled between sandstone hills, Jaswant Thada is a memorial dedicated to one of the greatest rulers of Jodhpur, Maharaja Jaswant Singh. Built in 1899, under the supervision of Maharaja Sardar Singh, this royal cenotaph is par excellence.

A marvel in itself, Jodhpur Jaswant Thada gives expression to Rajputana architecture at its best. The main monument is made of white marble. Built in the style of a temple, the Jaswant Thada in Jodhpur is adorned with paintings, sculptures, pillars and domes. The marble used in the cenotaph glitters when the beaming sunrays fall on it.

On your tour of Jodhpur Jaswant Thada will feature prominently in the list of must-see sites. The memorial houses huge life-size portraits of erstwhile Rathore rulers. You will find sections dedicated to queens and courtesans of the Maharaja.

There are quite a few other cenotaphs built nearby Jaswant Thada in Jodhpur. However, none of these can come close to matching the creative brilliance of Jaswant Thada of Jodhpur.
