The Jaswant Thada memorial is architectural landmark in Jodhpur. |
 |
The Jaswant Thada is architectural landmark in Jodhpur, Rajasthan State, India. It is a white marble memorial built in 1899 A.D. in the memory of Maharja Jaswant Singh II. The monument is built out of
intricately carved sheets of marble. These stones are extremely thin and polished therefore they emit a warm glow when the sun's rays shine across their surface. It is a traditional cremation ground of Jodhpur rulers. The grounds also have carved gazebos, a beautiful multi-tiered garden, and a small lake. Jaswant Thada is located nearly 400m in the north-east of the Meherangarh Fort, India's largest fort.  |
