Beautiful white marble cenotaph built at the end of the nineteenth century in honor of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. The cenotaph dominates the blue city with its white marble. If you go to visit the interior in the middle of the day, you will see that under the sun's rays, the marble walls are transparent with a beautiful play of light.

Jaswant thada is rightfully called the Taj Mahal of Marwar. It is an exquisite marble monument dedicated to Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. It has intricately carved pillars, a dome and a chandelier. It is surrounded by landscaped gardens. It has paintings of Marwar kings. One can get a panoramic view of Mehrangarh fort from here. Since it is located near Mehrangarh fort, one can combine the visits to both these places

After the Fort, this is the next best monument in Jodhpur. Preferable view it at sundown. First, the visitors shall be less and secondly the golden evening glow on this building makes it look like a piece of jewellery. Basically a cenotaph, this building has several small structures around the main central one. A play of white marble and stone structures, varying in size depending on the importance and hierarchy of the person whose ashes it preserves. Spread over quite a large area, the serenity of the place is encapsulating. With good reason, it’s build away from the main noisy city. The setting sun plays wonders with the materials used, and the shadows are interesting. A beautiful monument to quieten you down after all the hustle and bustle you may have gone through, trying to navigate the city.

The Jaswant Thada is a cenotaph located near to the Meharangarh Fort. It was built by Maharaja Sardar Singh of Jodhpur State in 1899 in memory of his father, Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, and it serves as the cremation ground for the royal Rajput family of Marwar. The cenotaph is built out of intricately carved sheets of Makrana marble. The cenotaph's grounds feature carved gazebos, garden, and a small lake. The entry fee is Rs. 30 per pax. Inside, there is nothing much to explore. A quick visit while visiting the fort may be made.

Jaswant Thada, a dazzling white marble cenotaph built in 1899, honours Maharaja Jaswant Singh II near Mehrangarh Fort. Also Known as the "Taj Mahal of Marwar," it showcases Rajput architecture with intricate carvings that glow warmly in the sun. Inside, find memorials to Jodhpur's rulers and a museum with portraits offering a glimpse into the city's royal past. A serene lake, once used for royal cremations, now shelters ducks and adds to the peaceful atmosphere.

Well worth a visit if going to the nearby fort. Great place for taking pictures and such a beautiful and tranquil location. It was very quiet when we visited which made the experience more serene. There were some traditional musicians playing which also added to the atmosphere. There are also some very clean toilets there if needed

1. Its just 5 minutes auto ride from Mehrangarh fort. So most people do it along with Mehrangarh Fort. Seems to be a big reason why so many people visit this monument. Just on its own, i doubt it would have attracted that many people. 2. Overall, there is nothing much to see here. Kind of a temple complex with many cenotaphs. Built in memory of all the kings of Jodhpur. Ofcourse historically an important structure, but in terms of beauty and charisma, nowhere near to other attractions available in India. For some reason it is called Taj mahal of Marwar, which is absolutely not comparable. 3. Visit it along with Mehrangarh Fort and spend half an hour there. Just about it.
