Forts & Palaces of Jodhpur
Jaswant Thada
On
the way down from the fort, on left is Jaswant Thada, the graceful marble cenotaph
of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. His son Maharaja Sardar Singhji built the Taj
Mahal of Marwar in the memory of Maharaj Jaswant Singhji II of Jodhpur. The
cenotaphs of earlier Maharajas and Maharanis are at Mandore.
Wives and concubines committed Sati on Jaswant Funeral pyre. The main memorial
has been built like a temple with intricately carved marble stone that is sculpted
by the genius artesian. A visit to this structure is through the rocky hills
giving it a secluded and a mystic aura.
