Travel to Jaswant Thada - a 19th century imperial cenotaph dedicated to the memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singhji.
Jaswant Thada is one of the most important tourist attractions in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. This elaborate marble memorial features portraits of kings of Jodhpur. There are several sculptures and exquisite architectural friezes that are dedicated to the memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh's queens and other women of the royal harem who committed sati on his funeral pyre.
Ornate with lavishly carved pillars, domes and pavilions, Jaswant Thada is a glorious dedication to the memory of a powerful king who played an important role in the history of Marwar.
The marble walls at the Jaswant Thada were polished to such as extent that even today when sunrays settle on the cenotaph walls they radiate with freshness.
Jaswant Singh was the 33rd Rathore successor to the Jaipur throne. The fantastic marble cenotaph built in his memory was constructed by Maharaja Sardar Singhji, his successor and son.
The whole trek to the Jaswant Thada from the Mehrangarh Fort is an experience to remember. Rocky terrain and scrubs form a mystic backdrop for this brilliantly built cenotaph.
