The Jaswant Thada is a
cenotaph located in Jodhpur, in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It was
built by Maharaja Sardar Singh of Jodhpur State in 1899 in memory of his
father, Maharaja Jaswant Singh II and serves as the burial ground for
the rulers of Marwar.
The mausoleum is built out of intricately carved sheets of marble. These
sheets are extremely thin and polished so that they emit a warm glow
when illuminated by the sun.
The cenotaph's grounds feature carved gazebos, a tiered garden, and a
small lake. There are three other cenotaphs in the grounds. |
