Jaswant Thada is a splendid marble cenotaph monument that is also a mausoleum for the kings
of Marwar. The memorial was built in the honour and memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II by
his son Maharaja Sardar Singh in 1899 and is still used by the Marwar Royal Family as
cremation grounds. The beautiful monument is made out of intricately carved marble that is
offset vibrantly against the red steps that lead up to the entrance. Jaswant Thada in Jodhpur is
considered as an architectural landmark and must be seen by one and all. On the steps leading up
to the monument, one can see local musicians and folk dancers entertain the visitors.
The cenotaph also has a beautifully maintained garden which the tourists can explore along with
the monument. You can explore the intricate artistry on the carved marbles. The skilfully carved
thin sheets of marble are worth appreciating. The entire structure resembles a temple with
unmatched beauty. It is also called the Taj Mahal of Marwar and attracts tourists from all over
the world.
